Only thing is, loose camchain doesn't usually happen suddenly. Like a drvie chain, it wears over a period.

well I cant say for sure but its been noisy-ish before but i never worried about it and passed it off as needing a decent ride after sitting for so long, I haven't had it running for 40 mins all up yet, so i wouldn't know if it happened recently or not. Checking tappets an easy deal as well? Just read an article on it and it seems like a 10 min job, but then theres getting the right "feeler gauges" to fit the cb. Accurate? http://www.dansmc.com/valveclearence.htm

$5-10 from Ripco. Yeah a 10min job -- just do it in the morning after it hasn't run overnight so you know there's absolutely no heat in the engine, otherwise bits expand and close up the clearances.

Do you know what the clearances should be though? Can anybody help out?

It's not a worn piston rattling in the bore until it heats up and expands...? Or is that just bullshit I read on the interweb?

I hope not, apparently it's been rebuilt not long before I got it, but I can't be sure on that. Its always got great compression even when cold so I think its fine. I would like to know the clearances for it though, its hard to find a workshop manual and its no where on the internet.

Hm. I've always worked on the basis of

cliCKIty-CLIck - too loose
clicKity-clIck - too tight
clicKIty-CLick - just right.

Works for me. I calibrate the clickity every so often using my ISO thumbnail.

Umm......
I think I'll either leave it till I get some feelers of the right size or just let you take a look at it
