Will Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Looks like I'll be pulling the car into the garage again tonight to check out the chain. Thanks for the information! Quote Link to comment
Will Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 I lined the crank pulley up with the TDC mark and checked the cam gear - the dash on the plate lined up perfectly with the cam dowel, and the gear is set at dowel hole #2. (My cam gear isn't as pretty as the one in the picture - I had to block the chain, unbolt the gear and pull it a bit forward to see the dash! ...next time it would be nice to get one of the Japanese timing kits...)

Will Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 I'm wondering - I hear a clattering kind of sound - more through the carbs, but since there aren't too many moving parts in the carb, could I be hearing a crapped-out valve seat? The sound started since I got to Syracuse a few days ago. Also, I had new hardened steel valve seats put into the head since the old bronze ones were beginning to sink. maybe one of them popped out?
