  • Engine Rattle 2003 Sportster LE 951

    My first post and one made in duress. My engine quit at idle and sounded like it seized up but it will turn over and run after cooling down. When it runs it rattles, like a death rattle of sorts, and what sounds like a metalic bang that becomes more prominent at higher RPM. I'm wondering if an entire engine replacement/rebuild is in order or if I can replace the crankshaft and bearings. The boat (and trailer) is all in great working order having replaced the wear ring and shifter cable recently. Any advice before I tear into this would be greatly appreciated from a first-time poster but frequent reader. Thanks much.
