Can you loan a flywheel holding tool?

I had the clutch side open about a year ago, I don't think there's any problem with it.

Did you have the clutch basket off? I'd be checking if this was loose. It's a quick and easy job and will cost little or nothing.

Yea, I had the basket off. I quite distinctly remember being a bit ham fisted and shearing one of the bolts. I replaced them all with new ones.

Thanks to hmmmnz who came round and threw his skills at the bike. Got it back together and fired it up - still noisy. Attacked the valves. The gaps were huge about 5 times greater than they should have been. Reset, then noise check No.2 - much better but something still isn't right. Big-end maybe. If it is the big end, can it be ignored (for how long) or fix it now?
