- Inspect the flex plate (1) for stress cracks around the flex plate-to-rotor bolt hole locations.
- Inspect the stator for the following conditions:
- Rust or corrosion at the electrical terminal connection or the electrical windings (2 and 3)
- Scoring or gouging in the electrical winding surfaces (3)
- Bent or damaged stator
- Damage to the exterior of the housing and/or coolant jacket
- Inspect the rotor for the following conditions:
- Rust or corrosion of the electrical windings (4)
- Scoring or gouging in the electrical winding surfaces
- Bent or damaged rotor
- Stress cracks around the rotor-to-crankshaft bolt hole locations (5)
- Inspect the electrical terminal studs and the electrical connection for corrosion.
