Healthy sounding engine update

Post by AHTHUD » Mon Jun 29, 2009 8:09 pm

Had a look inside the engine, Valves clearance was spot on on the exhaust but a bit tight on the inlet (reshimmed now) camchain tensioner was ok, camchain guides good, cams good, bearing caps good, camchain about a foot to long!!!! :shock: :shock: . Dropped a new chain in and now the engine sounds like the attached, What do you think??
It's all good fun till the pain sets in!

Sounds ok but a bit sluggish on the pickup - is the fuelling okay?

Just because you're breathing, it doesn't mean you're alive.
