Something came loose in bellhousing

[Ultra Mag]

Started m1081 today and this grinding and clunking started comeing from bellhousing. I pushed it in shop and took off inspection plate .A handful of bolts an metal fell out ,Im thinking it might be the flex plate bolts .Almost got engine out today. I will finish removal I the morning. Any thoughts guys.

I suspect you will be telling us. Something must have cracked while being airdropped over Afghanistan and the years of War Pig duty over there caused the crack to grow until today . . . Sounds good anyway.

Was there any indication of trouble prior or was this the first time you started it?

So root cause improper torque/lack of threadlocker on reassy. Not a chronic family wide issue. Whew.

There was a lot of loose things on engine, it went back together better and tighter . Start in up tomorrow. Cant help but wonder what they left loose inside.
