As far as I can tell, none of the surfaces are worn, nothing has been abraded or otherwise deformed, save a small ridge on the crank shaft about 3/16" past the end of the taper towards the flat of the shaft. I'm at a loss as to a next move? is the play in the big sprocket acceptable / normal?

I recently went through this whole scenario and found the bolts m8x16 (socket heads) were loose and had worn. Make sure they're tight....red loctite if you have it.

those are all torqued to spec....I'm just wondering if the sound is normal?
