Re: Had my cam chain done but... - Paulfzs - 29-03-15
checked the clutch plates? the basket could be worn
Re: Had my cam chain done but... - davidkent - 29-03-15
Had the clutch apart earlier in this thread but don't really know what I'm looking for.
There's a noise that stops when I pull the clutch lever as normal but this tapping is different and remains constant?
Re: Had my cam chain done but... - Paulfzs - 29-03-15
ahh ok...
Maybe take "feeder" up on the offer of looking at it
Re: Had my cam chain done but... - paulchucky - 31-03-15
difficult from video but sounds vey much like exhaust blow from falnges ?
easy to check and relatively easy to fix
Re: Had my cam chain done but... - ChristoT - 31-03-15
If the head never came off... timing issue?
Re: Had my cam chain done but... - davidkent - 31-03-15
He did remove cams mind you so should be timed
as said when I move the pump it stops though.
Also think I do have a slight downpipe blow but that's a different noise lol
Deefer thinks he knows what it could be my issue is distance
Re: Had my cam chain done but... - paulchucky - 31-03-15
a slight blow on headres can sound like a loud ticking !
if it starts ok runs ok then :
as i said diffficult to tell on video but does sound very suspect
i`d sort the exhaust blow out and see if the noise goes !!
:eek :eek
Re: Had my cam chain done but... - davidkent - 31-03-15
Are these just gaskets, is there a guide?
Well do that but as said when I move the water pump it goes so Im pretty sure it isn't that.
It's blowing on my link pipe too but can't seem to find a decent way to seal that either
Cheers

Re: Had my cam chain done but... - paulchucky - 07-04-15
you got this sorted yet mate ? if so be interesting to know what it was
Re: Had my cam chain done but... - davidkent - 07-04-15
Funny actually.
I sooner had I clicked send on a pm to Deefer, you clicked post on this. Looking into it now.
Steering rack went on the car the other day so that was priority
Re: Had my cam chain done but... - davidkent - 19-04-15
Deefer didn't reply
Seems the oil pump is the next culprit.
Problem is, I'm not sure how involved changing it will be.
any suggestions, is it worth the effort and is it a mental job?
Will it involve splitting the chain or just removing the tensioner etc?
Second hand worth it?
Re: Had my cam chain done but... - davidkent - 30-04-15
Changed the oil pump.
Still does it.
Now what!?
Deefer?
Re: Had my cam chain done but... - Paulfzs - 30-04-15
how odd :S
Re: Had my cam chain done but... - davidkent - 30-04-15
Same again loosen water pump and the noise goes
Re: Had my cam chain done but... - savvy - 30-04-15
Maybe sounds a bit daft but!! Have you checked how much you need to tighten the water pump up? I have had a time when the pump would not sit flush due to shaft pump interface. What it was that the pump required a lot of preasure to screw down. when I took a bit off the shaft,about 0.020" I could push the pump tight on without the screws so only needed a nip up to get it seated. Just a thought? try 2 gaskets see if the noise goes.
Re: Had my cam chain done but... - davidkent - 30-04-15
There's no gasket on that face though that's the annoying thing.
Does seem like that though was tempted to put a thin washer between the pump face and crank case if that makes sense just to push the pump put a touch.
The rubber o ring will still be there so the oil shouldn't leak either.
Seems odd that this could suddenly happen but I can't loosen the bolts and ride it to test as it leaks coolant.
But you saying to use 2 gaskets makes sense, shame there aren't any so I may try the washer thing?
Cheers
Re: Had my cam chain done but... - davidkent - 04-05-15

Re: Had my cam chain done but... - Jules-C - 04-05-15
