I live in hope someone has a solution that does not involve removing the gearbox and engine but fear the worst.
As can be seen from the video, gearbox in neutral, push the clutch in, strange noise which seems to come from the gearbox, revs drop and engine will eventually stall unless clutch is released. Dr google pointed me towards the ECU and possible crank thrust washer / crank walk issue.
I eliminated an ECU issue for obvious reasons, and then after a lot of thinking eliminated the thrust washer issue as I remembered the crank installation was the only part of the engine build completed by a professional and not me.
However, I don’t know of anything else it could be and also alarmingly have had a small oil leak for a while which appears to be from the crankshaft oil seal.
Any advice gratefully received.
Thanks
Nick
