BucksTherapy Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Just completed a valve adjust, tbs, added Techlusion and tuned. The bike is running better then it ever has but I am hearing a scratching/light scraping noise in the engine. Primarily left side front of the engine. I have confirmed there no unusual valve trane ticks or clicks. I suspect it is timing chain noise. Has anyone else experienced a similar noise? If it is timing chain noise should I be alarmed? Is it difficult to change the tensioner? Do you think this would cure the problem? Appreciate any words of wisdom. Link to comment

lazywizard Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Since we are speculating: 1. Something is in under the valve cover; feeler guage? Oak leaf? 2. Cam chain is dragging on something? 3. Oil flow is sonic due to a restriction; how? why? 4. You have a bug in your left ear. 5. The throttle body is loose; air leak. 6. There is a leaf in the air intake. 7. Sticky front caliper. 8. Bad speaker, left side. 9. Cylinder is chewing itself into a million pieces. Link to comment
