mystery noise

<< < (2/3) > >>

matzilla:
Thank you all so much for the speedy replies. That makes me feel lots better. I'm glad to know that noise isn't a future catastrophy waiting to happen.

Polar-Bus:
Check the copper exhaust gasket between the pipe and the cyl. Also check the condition of the two exhaust pipe o-rings. If these parts get worn, your exhaust pipe will vibrate and hammer the pi$$ out of your cylinder. I actually run 2 copper exhaust gaskets to keep the vibration to a minimum.

What are you running for a base gasket/

matzilla:
Just the stock/standard base gasket. It has the big holes under the valves. And I super cleaned everything when it was apart. Makes sense now when I think about the noise. Before when I heard it, I thought it was a possible cause but was unsure. Thanks again to all.

Larry Wiechman:

 Just ride the wheels off that thing!  A nice, fresh coating of carbon and oily mung will quiet that rattle soon.
