Great job fixing noise. As far as pulling the engine. Well it’s a learning lesson. We all do this type of thing at some time in our projects.

No kidding...that's how we learn I guess! 🤔

I had a similar noise coming from the engine in my Karmann Ghia. I ended up loosening the four bolts fastening the generator to the fan shroud and the two bolts holding the shroud down at the sides. Spinning the generator with the belt removed I could hear a definite metallic rubbing sound (slightly non concentric). With the pedestal holding the generator being in a fixed position, I gave the shroud a bit of a wiggle and it stopped rubbing. I tightened up the shroud end bolts and then the four generator bolts (in that order) and the noise was gone. 😄 I realise this video is 11 months old but your fuel filter is the wrong way around and should ideally be located away from the engine bay area. Over the gearbox (transmission) or under the fuel (gas) tank are the safest places to avoid a potential engine fire. Thanks for the video. Interesting to know that generator bearings don't always last for ever. 😉Hang loose! 🤟ATB from the UK

That is awesome you were able to adjust the grinding by changing the position of the fan...makes sense! Yes, I recently bought one of the fuel filter brackets that is sold on The Samba and installed it for fire safety, along with a BlazeCut fire suppression system. I feel a lot better driving around now! Mahalo, friend!
