Hey guys. Bit of an update. I've replaced the cam chain which was pretty fecked. Did the upside smile when I held it out. Also changed the inlet manifolds and the noise is definitely better & bogging down seems to have eased (can't say for definite as I've not taken for a proper test ride) however I still have a clacking sound between 3-5k. Its not as bad as it was, the worrying thing though. I did an oil & filter change as part of the job & found a gold glitter type sparkle in the old oil. Isn't that a sign that crank bearings are on the wah out? I hope not, shouldn't be on such a low mileage bike!
