violent shaking while starting
Hi everyone,
I recently picked up a 95 sc400 as a project that hasn't been on the road in 10ish years, i replaced the gas tank, and did an oil change and got it started and drove it around the neighborhood.
The other day I tried to start it up and all i heard was a machine gun noise and some violent shaking and sounds like it might be grinding against the flywheel. I know it's not coming from a low charge battery since I tried the battery out of my daily sc300 and still the same thing.
Does anyone know if the starter could of **** the bed, if somethings misaligned, or the flywheel itself is ****ed up?
I attached a video with the sound of it.

Did some diagnosing, on the brightside it didn't end up being the starter but it seems like it dropped a rod :/ no idea why it happened since oil levels were good and i did an oil change before i even started it.
