Hi Marcel, It’s in with the mechanic now and it’s the cam chain, just a bit loose. Says valves are ok and not the source of the tick. Would this be a job for a new CCT? If so can you send me a link to a decent set of automatic tensioners?
Check ebay for those automatic tensioners , I don’t know if i have a cam chain for it but i am not sure. If its on ebay UK, it should be good to go! – Some tensioners are stripped which look mechanically OK and retract fine but i can’t tell you if they rattle or not as the source engines have bottom end issues (otherwise i’d rather sell the complete engines intact normally) – They are cheap enough that he can compare one or the other, otherwise if he says the Auto CCT is fine and not making a sound, then you should be OK , if it does make a sound then yes replace it. Though , keep an eye on this dark shop as i intend to stock new ones soon (need to buy loads to stock up first as i know they will go quick here and riders abroad) Get valve clearance numbers = Its a must. Its for your peace of mind too.
Beauty. I’ll have a look.
Clearances were slap bang in the middle of spec, mechanic didn’t tell me what they were (forgot to ask!) but he assured me they’re fine. I think front intake was 0.13, didn’t mention clearances on any others.
He said my rear cam chain is loose, showed me too. Said that’s likely the source of the ticking and it’s probably a tensioner problem.
I dunno. I’ll strip it off tomorrow and test it.
