Looks to me like your fly wheel or crank may have been impacting the stator and that's what caused this not the actual stator itself failing. That's bad man you have no play in your crank right? And that is a 500 flywheel correct? Maybe it was a clearance thing with the Ricky stator being to big or something. I have a stock stator I can sell you for $50 plus the ride if you wanna try to go back to stock and see what happens.
