Turtle64b's Stillen Build Thread

Listening to one of the videos leads me to think that there may not be anything wrong with the SC and the other makes it sound not so normal.

Sounds like mine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obZlz3kMr0I

A few bad bearing vids:

I don't think the SC sounds like any of the bad bearing vids, but I also think it's a little louder than expected. Again, I've reached out to SpecialtyZ and Vortech as well to see if they have any insight into what, if anything, may be wrong with the SC unit.

If you guys have any videos for me to compare mine to, I would appreciate it!

The "Less like mine" video is what mine sounds like. Listen as the engine revs up, the rattle goes away. If the rattle does not go away then their may be some gear damage. The previous owner said that a bearing had failed but he didn't say if any damaged resulted from the failed bearing.
