Title: Strange sound, need help !
Post by: rus022 on 21 July 2013, 04:28:59 pm: Started like a ticking sound, then it got worse. Now it sounds like a spraycan rattle. I have checked cam chain , tensioner, camshats.... Everything seems fine but it sound terrible.
Here is the video:

Post by: rus022 on 21 July 2013, 05:59:12 pm: I dont think it is water pump, sound is not coming from that side and it' not leaking and engine is not overheating

Took the plug out and the manifold off. Made an attachment for the hoover that went in the plug thread and blew through with an air line at same time.
Seemed to be quieter after that only for the bottom end to let go a few days later :eek
I would sort it out before you go riding about on it

Post by: rus022 on 22 July 2013, 10:33:19 am: Still no reply from @markaboot, he has not been on forum for more than a month.I've searched over net and found this
cam chain rattle (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veQxzlSxgB0#)
It really sounds like that cam chain guide(intake side) is making that noise when vibrating.How to check it or replace it? As found over the web , manual tensioner will not make things better!
Any advice?

Post by: darrsi on 22 July 2013, 01:45:13 pm: The PM you sent would go to his personal email address so maybe he's just on holiday or something?

I was looking at his posts on here and although he made quite a few he never really got to the bottom of the issue, not on here anyway?

Not while you're riding though.

I've isolated the noise. It's definitely coming from the screw driver

Chain is unevenly stretched and needs replacement.Is there any way to replace it without opening entire engine, removing crankshaft?
Title: Re: Strange sound, need help !
Post by: elbrownos on 25 July 2013, 07:11:05 pm: Yes, if you buy a split chain and rivet it.

Mechanic diagnosed it , and it's still not replaced- looking to by a new one.
It will probably be replaced in 2-3 days, and i'll keep you posted.
