:bow: Special thanks to everyone who helped me out in this thread... :Sport:
Bike is running just great.
(Just posted in FinalImpact's spark cap thread aswell).
I don't hear that annoying right side rattle when dropping down from mid/high range RPM so I am pretty sure that exercising/cleaning the chain tensioner was one big winner.
TO EVERYONE WHO IS ABOUT TO CHECK FOR VALVE CLEARENCE READ THIS:
When you are done rotating the crankshaft do NOT leave the wrench hanging on the end of it. After removing the chain tensioner I did just that... and guess what happened I accidently hit the wrench with my foot and heard a CLICKETICLAK... and boom... the chain was way loose without the tensioner and jumped x amount of teeth on each of the camshafts. :spank:
Had to remove and reinstall the camshafts to get everything in the right position again. Not hard work but just a complete waste of time since all was within spec to begin with and felt like a complete :squid:
Looking at this from a positive perspective (sure wasn't easy at the time I hit the wrench) maybe the off/on work with camshafts + chain + timing chain guides was part of fixing the problem with the above mentioned rattle.
Thanks again!!!
And that Carb Tuner from Morgan is highly recommended. Very suitable if your looking to share a few tools with another biker.
Glad to hear you got averything adjusted and sync'ed up. That had to be the LONGEST, valve adjustment, throttle sync ever done( hope you don't charge by the hour now!! ) Your Morgan Tuner already paid for itself too!!!
**Just a quick note for others to prevent the slipped chain sprocket towards the end of the project. When the CCT is out and everything is lined up, simply ZIP TIE THE cam chain to itself, around the middle so there is no slack and no where for it to go.
BTW, how far out (MM's) roughly were the throttle bodies?
