Squeeling head

[dooner17]

The head on my klt160 is squeeling. I took the cam chain cover off and there was plenty of oil in the head. Is there a berring on the cam that could be bad?

Anyone Please, I have no idea

A leaking head gasket can cause a squeal too.

you cam chain could be too tight casing it to make a whuuuring kinda noise when it is reved up......you could also have some crap stuck in your cam journals or something too..

ok, ill losen the chain, and the head gasket isnt leaking. And it does it at idle and everything, Ill have to take the valve cover off

Sounds like cam/cambearing. I had one do the same thing. I had to get a new cam, and a used head. $$$$

it could be your head gasket. my 110 head squeeled until i changed the head gasket.

ok nothing on here sounds like a small job, this is my project bike that I paid 75$ for. I replaced the cam chain about a month ago. Is there no way to just replace the cam berrings.?

OH! i just thought of this........make sure the cam is pushed ALL the way into the head, or it could rub on the plate/cover infront of it if there are marks on the back of the plate/cover then you know its not far enough in.

ok what playte do * man though, the cam chain one

[MTS]

not sure on this specific bike but, do you know how to get to your cam? in the head there ther should be like a cover that covers the end of the cam with like an oil seal that screws into the head over the cam......that plate...kinda hard to explain
