Hi Guys looks like its back to the drawing board :'( started the bike up and tapping noise is still there even tho tensioner is in pace,gave it a few revs and noise didnt sound too bad so went for a run but 5 mins later the noise became a concern,loud tapping sound which rises with the revs and you would put your last buck on it being overly loose tappet,but is definately coming from the top end left hand side,right hand side has no sound at all its running quite,this sound is from the top left so thinking its either damaged valve springs on no1 cylinder or damaged rocker arm shafts,ive already had no2 valves out to check them and lapped the valves in too
,now wish i had did no1 also.i`ll take rocker cover off tomorrow and take shafts out to inspect things,if all looks good its head off time again to check no1 valves,strangely enough when i first got the bike i had to replace no1 valve and guide as there was a whole lot of side play in the inlet valve but all the rest were sound,weird,what could possibly have worn the valve away to such extent it wore away the guide! any ideas im all ears lol
Bryanj:
Got to ask, are you sure the exhaust gasket isnt leaking, many have chased noisey tappets only to find nipping up the flange cures it
