7M Alternators

The alternator in my MZ20 is making a real loud whirring noise. Sounds like bearings. I was wondering if the 7MGE alt is the same as the 7MGTE??
I should get it rebuilt, but if a 2nd hander can do me for a while then I will be happy  That is if they aren't too expensive...

a crook stator or rectifier inside an alternator can also make a whirring noise.
Take the belt off and feel the bearing buy spinning it manually. This will tell you if its bearings or not.

If it isn't bearings, would that be expensive you think?
Do you knwo if the NA ones are the same?

NA 7Ms use a distributer, 7MGTEs use a CAS.
I've got both at home (they're actually Eds - sorry ed, still got 'em) if you want a look at the difference.
They are really different though, look different, act different, etc.
