I have an engine rattle.
I need to sort this now yet had it since Normandy last year....not rode it since to be honest.
Talking to a few guys they seem to think it could possibly be valve cams.
Is this something that I would need to set timing in a certain place etc before I remove the three hex pins and plate holding the cam pins/gears etc
I have a used replacement to swop as an assembly from another bottom end.
You can remove the plate with the engine in any position. There are 3 bolts and the 2 cam oil feed bolts to undo. After which you can revolve the engine to relieve the valve spring pressure to pull the cams off their spindles. Ron
Thank you Gentlemen, very much appreciated.
Are there any timing marks I need to be aware of before rebuilding please or can l just rebuild?
Regards,
Paul
There are timing marks to line up which is simple and detailed in the workshop manual. So also is the fairly unique way to adjust the tappets. It would be a good idea to obtain one. DVD's are available on the technical pages of this site. Ron
