Or the previous owner just liked it loud...

Your post made me think, though. My engine was first built in 1997, too, then seized after 15 minutes of the first start-up (assembler screw up). I pulled it apart, fixed the seized bearing and re-assembled. It's been running fine ever since, except for a broken stock rocker arm shaft that should have been stronger in the first place. You have to be careful (both in the US and Europe) where you get your parts from and the integrity of the supplier.
