Hi they are always a pain as the water from the washer rots everything try a good soak in plusgas then use a deep socket, other than that its a new motor.

Hello I wanted to add that I just added some oil because maybe enough oil had leaked to the point of metal to metal grind would start to occur. The sound stopped and I’ll be getting a oil change this weekend I’ll be back to report 🫡
Hi all,
I have an update... Lol
Loud scraping noise = destroyed Balance Shaft Chain & Crank Cog Teeth.
Remedy = New Timing Chain & Crank Cog.
I did the work myself, which took an age of learning and an age of fixing, but it's all good now. 😁
Thanks,
Paul.
