Help can't get cam chain back on

<< < (4/4)

bytio:
I saw a forum discussion on this for 500/550 and it is possible to put the rocker ( I think) not aligned correctly, and caused a loud click when turning engine over, effectively the tappet screw slips off top of valve, I will try and find the article and put a link on. Put your figure on top of tappet where noise is and feel what it does when engine turned over

LesterPiglet:
Tappets should be all screwed out and held back with elastic bands when installing the tappet cover. You will know if its on properly when the gasket surfaces are flush and all the bolt holes line up. Can't go wrong really.

Hi all just taken cam cover off again looks like valves sticking. Do these get any lubrication? the reason I ask is that the channel under the cam is full but the area where the valve springs is dry, is it just splash fed from the cam, can i put some oil in there to lube the valve stems. Iain
