Wow thats pretty cool! Yea he definitely always takes care of the motor.
I may give him a call tomorrow and let him know that I am concerned about the grinding noise.
Maybe he will remember checking out the gears last time he worked on motor.

There is no way to check the gears without taking the bearing carrier out and visually check the gears and bearings. Only adjustment you have is your shift/throttle. Some metal shavings is normal wear. The drain plugs have magnets on them to catch the shavings.
