grinding noise in primary

i just put back my primary this afrernoon before taking a ride. I noticed that the spacer behind the bell was starting to wear out. Take a look at the inside of the bell. The inner part that turns may be noisy.

Ok, bought a new rotor, upon inspecting all the parts carefully found that there were 4 chipped teeth in the clutch hub, all on the same side. Bought a new clutch hub and changed it out. Put everything back together with the Hayden tensioner and new chain and rotor. Seemed to me that the chain was too tight after assembling everything. Called Hayden and they said it was Ok for it to be a little tight with a new chain. Fired it up and the grinding noise is gone. Has a little whirling noise, but Hayden says that it is the chain working into the tensoiner shoe and should go away within a couple hundred miles. Hopefully, the thing's fixed. Thank all you guys for your input.
