Moderator Airhead Posted October 30, 2011 Moderator Posted October 30, 2011 here we go, its a major strip down and crank removal...like i said earlier, worst case scenario @ drewpy...to me its either bucket/shim or tappets, tappets are not exclusive to pushrod engines my TTR600 OHC has them
jimmythemoonlight Posted October 30, 2011 Author Posted October 30, 2011 Fraid so mate, should move but 5mil seems a bit loose, ok so that is one knock sorted and as you have it apart check every thing else out as well and yes decoke it while you can, don't forget to check the crank shaft as well while your at it one thing can lead to another I'm afraid. ok thanks , i might as well just take it apart all together, there was a sort of pinking noise that came from the rear cylinder , would it be fair to say that that could of been the piston hitting the head ?? thanks for your advice by the way

Moderator Airhead Posted October 30, 2011 Moderator Posted October 30, 2011 yes i see what youre saying but since jesus was a boy we have all said and heard the term 'adjust the tappets' since there is no adjustment to be had on the tappets you posted a nice picture of we all know the tappet adjusters to be on the rocker arms,,,so then these are now the tappets
Moderator drewpy Posted October 30, 2011 Moderator Posted October 30, 2011 i was being pedantic, but that's how I am with engines! I always adjust the valve clearances not the tappets
Moderator Airhead Posted October 30, 2011 Moderator Posted October 30, 2011 i was being pedantic, Get away...thats not like you!
