Default RE: ZDZ-40 engine component failure

I would bet you simply are hearing the rotor seat - all of em do this when turned over -especially turned backwards.
The rotor is large in diameter and the
"slap" sound really carries .
sometimes at an idle the sound can show up - basically just a bit too much rotor to backplate clearance -
No big deal--part of being a disc rotary valve.
