Does This Sound Right? Bravo Install

I replaced my old MC-1 drive with a used Bravo drive assembly. I installed a new gimbal bearing, U-joints, and drive oil in the new drive assembly. Did the alignment, which maybe that could have been better, but I could pull the bar out with 2 fingers (barely?) and spin the bar without any grinding.

Does this sound normal? Sounds clunky to me. Roughly 900 RPMs.

No, doesn't sound right... maybe try pulling the drive off and see if the noise goes away/changes....But be sure to add water to the intake water hose location at the gimbal bell housing before starting the engine...The idea,

Also try using something like a broom handle, stick, etc. to place around the engine and drive areas to help listen for a more definite sound location.
