Before replacing the engine on my 02 f4i I dropped it on the stator side and after a wire it started to leak. Today I got a new stator cover in and started to take the old one off. The old one has a shot gasket and tiny crack in the cover, but my flywheel has some kinda damage to it and dont want to put it back together without seeing if it would be ok. Check out the pics they are kinda ****ty but here they are. BTW i didnt see any loose metal in there or anything do you think it would be ok to leave?

 

As long as it is not hitting the cover and the bike runs good, you should be good to ride.
