If you look close at the first pic you can see little chunks of the magnet removed. Followed up with a pic of the metal shavings built up on the pickup coils. The last pic is just to show that the rotor is in fact...a magnet.
Incidently those coils in the third pic look overheated, although I am not an expert on Drifters so you should get a confirmation from Chief before you panic..

- December 11, 2014, 09:28:19 AMHere's a thought. While you have it all apart, there is a $35 bearing in the bevel drive that could and does fail. Mine went at about 75,000 miles and, although it didn't do any real damage to anything, it did cause quite a bit of angst and frustration....You have it all apart now, so a little preemptive replacement could save you lots of grief down the road....

That is correct. No POGs on Drifters.

- December 04, 2014, 20:42:19 PMThank you for your suggestions Troll. If anything seems funny along the way I'll certainly ask you so (hopefully) nothing gets missed.

- December 04, 2014, 19:32:46 PMTo check the bearings, the crank must be removed.....if everything else seems to be decent, and there is no funny business when you take the covers off, I guess I would chance it....These engines have a very automotive bottom end, with car style plain bearings, so they are probably going to be all right....It was just a thought....

- December 04, 2014, 19:03:20 PMI am going to avoid splitting the case unless something unusual comes up when I pull off the L&R covers. I soaked the HLA's and 5 are good and 3 on order. Yea, the valves I will check real careful especially from the growth/corrosion that was on the intakes (seen when I removed the throttle body).
Do I need to split the case to check the main & rod bearings?
