Just raw for now I wish I could find a hi temp clear .

Fronts a 4.00 -19

The box is hand built from an old sign If I could buy one that would be cheating!

New rims would be awesome.Thanks!

Pandemonium Yam mama SWEET!!

problem solved. Thanks a bunch turned out the copper washer that was in there was too thin and too small ( I think it was a brake fitting washer) any way it got worn to where it slipped inside the spring.:doh: Put 2 new thicker ones and instant quiet. Thanks again

Thanks a bunch I believe I have an E type and the copper washer in mine does not appear that thick can multiple thin washers be used?

Finally figuring out my idle noise after adjusting valves 4 times Went to recheck cam tension Clicking on dry rotation matched the plunger moving beyond the threads If I hold my finger against the plunger firmly the noise goes away on rotation. I think I have mixed components in my...

Taken from Mikes xs tech page : 16.Q. What valve tappet clearance do I use? A. All Models 1974-84: Inlet: 0.003 inches (0.075mm.) Exhaust: 0.006 inches (0.15mm.) A. All Models 1970-73: Inlet: 0.006 inches (0.15mm.) Exhaust: 0.012 inches (0.30mm.) Note: Set valve clearance with cylinder...

The cam in my 77 case is reportedly from a 72. would this change valve lash specs to match the cam and what would they be for a 72? XS2 I assume? XS1, XS2 TX650 : Inlet valve 0.15mm / exhaust 0.30mm Just to complicate matters .15mm converts to .006in. my intakes are at.003in .30mm...

Trying not to hi-jack your post but you`ve got the closets problem as mine. I`ve gappedthe intakes at .003 in. and exhaust at .006in. My engine is rephased so the opposite cylinder is found by viewing valves and piston position. Other situation is I`m using an earlier cam and head ( rocker...

So what was your final adjustment specs? inlet.05 mm and exhaust .15mm? Or did you change it thanks a bunch That`ll be todays project

I swear you must have snuck in my garage and video`d my engine. Exact same noise .Hear on dry rotation. Metalic ringing, tinging at idle. I`ve checked valve lash 3 times. Love to hear what you find I`ve got the elephant foot aduster screws to try next.
