ticking noise in engine.

[troy]

One problem that causes excessive wear in the rockers is swapping used rockers and cams from two differant bikes....The rockers wear themselves into the cam, and if they arent paired up afterwards, you will get fast wear and eventually a tick...Im goign to save up and buy a BRAND new cam (maybe aftermarket if you can still get em), brand new OEM rockers, and new rocker pins.

my plans where to take every thing out of the head thats on the bike now, being the arms, cam, pins every thing. then every thing that was in the old head, put them on and hope this solves my problem. Like i said before this bike was barely used in the past exect for the last 6 or 7 years. When i got the bike it made no top end noise what so ever. the only thing i heard was the sound of the timing chain. and thats the way i want it again..

Where the hell do you get new rockers, and pins. that would be slick to do since I am going to put a web cam in mine sometime soon?


The noise is agravating...


Thanks
