So, while I was adjusting the valves a few days after I returned from
the Gathering, I noticed a weird and ominous noise coming from the
engine, like something large and steel was broken or loose. Has
anybody else every heard one that sounds like this when simply
rotating the engine? I'm just looking for a data point. I don't
recall the engine ever making this noise previously, and can only
believe that if I'd heard it before, I'd have definitely noticed.

As the saying goes, "holy crap, you flew that thing in here"!!!!! An
engine not ready to disintegrate should not be making a noise like
that. I thought we might just get to hear an impulse coupler but that
is not an option.
Sounds like an engine tear down to me. I'd hate to even run that thing
again without a flak vest.
