I did tune the valves(or at least i think so).
my question is that while both valves are finger spinning , the sound(a metalic sound tak tak tak...is still there).
Sometimes it is so loud that i think i might have to start worry about it.
I have a handmade stainless steel silencer which is LOUD and my engine gets even louder when running.When at idle it is o.k(at least the sound looks normal to my ears-but when i throttle , oh man it goes tak tak TAK TAK tak tak).
do you think it might be something else?
i dont want to go to the mechanic before i try to solve my bullet issues by myself.
Any suggestions are more than welcome.
cheers ;)


Check the pushrods with the engine hot.  If they have some up/down movement try to adjust a little tighter when cold.
