Valve Noise?

ConfederateFish · Nov 19, 2013

Got my first warrior on at a estate auction. Honestly don't even know the exact year only got a bill of sale. It has a valve chatter, Ive set them twice, Checked the timing chain tensioner. I still cant get it to stop. Someone said cam bearing?

These engines are known for valve noise. Need to post up a video so we can hear it before throwing suggestions at you.

I had a top end noise also. Turned out the inner camshaft bearing race was gone and the outer was so worn the cam was walking in and out. Pull the cam gear cover and pull the gear twards you and then push in. If it moves at all you need bearings in the head.
