This is typical BSY bug. Nothing to do with heads.

I would say is the BSY bug too.

But hearing this sounds, maybe stucked heads, or any other problem in heads, maybe in platters

there is difinately something else other than BSY , even trying to clear SMART "a very simple R/W operation" will make the drive produce the noise again ..

heads are not stuck , does the donor i have presents a good head replacement one ?

thank you
