Hello. Top end ticking noise when revving.
Things tried:
Removed head and cylinder to inspect. Everything looks fine. New gaskets fitted.
Piston rings look good
Replaced cam bearings
Tappets adjusted, cam in good condition
Changed spark plug
Changed carb. Changed inlet rubbers.
Helicoiled worn exhaust threads. New gasket
Decoked head and piston crown.
Changed and tested cam chain tensioner.
At a loss. Unless it’s just the natural sound of the engine.
Wondered if it is pinking or detonation. Is there a way to advance or retard the ignition timing?
Not clutch bearing. Its been replaced.
Piston slap would go off as engine warms up. This is constant.
Im out of ideas.
Many thanks. Will post a video when i get home.
