Ok, I wondered as I've come across a number of flywheels (SIL + AFR) suffering from magnet covers coming loose and clicking as the flywheel rotates around the stator.
Piston slap would be a concern, which can be caused by wear or from a piston catching on wide ports as it tilts into them.
Hmmm, I hope that you resolve it.

Didn’t these kits have a recall recently? Piston to bore clearance to tight/to sloppy? or something, did you have yours sorted out or is it a post recall kit?

I don't think it is piston slap but sounds like it, if its catching on a port why would it stop with a few revs ?Adam_Winstone wrote: ↑Fri Apr 13, 2018 4:34 pm Ok, I wondered as I've come across a number of flywheels (SIL + AFR) suffering from magnet covers coming loose and clicking as the flywheel rotates around the stator.

Does it still do it when the engine is up to temperature?
What squish did you get?
