Cracked Flex plate






Just recently a club member had a very sharp tinkling noises from the back of the engine.
It sounded to me to be like some thing was hitting the exhaust pipes (bell sound)
He found that the problem was to do with the starter motor not disengaging from the flex ring gear.
I thought it may have been a cracked flex plate.
I was told this happens but never seen it until a member showed me the plate above.
The crack goes right around the plate approxiamately were the washer sits with the bolts.
Very interesting
