Another Problem! Help Please!

Lever, whether that bike is running or not, get your ass up to VIR. And hey, do you want to sell that track day?

 

I think he might need to learn how to remove his engine this weekend.

 

Bill Weidner is to Reno Leoni
as
Jeff Jennings is to Eraldo Ferracci
as
Jeff Lever is to Darrin Talbott

 

Jeff, take this with a grain of salt, BUT financing a bike, just to completely destroy it within a year (or less) is rather foolish.

If you have to race, start robbing banks, but racing on credit is gonna bite you**















** unless you make $225k a year and have a hot Dell chick!

Kinsey! Out!?

 

Jeff, let's organize a raffle. you put up your Honder and we'll see 3000 ticket for $10 per. A 50/50 split? Second price will be a power commander and a track day with Dan. Third gets the person beaned with a rock.

 

I thought second prize was two Honduhs he worked on???

 

Are you positive it's the bearing? Aren't Hondas notorious for munching Cam Chain tensioners. I'd check the Cam Chain's tension real quick and see if maybe you luck out and it's just the CCT.

Sorry, to hear about this though. Man you've got horrible luck with that bike. My F2 gave me these sorts of problems so I sold it dirt cheap to some buddies. Wouldn't you know they got it all fixed in a day.

 

We think it might be his ignition advancer that's hitting something. That would make sense as far as it breaking up.

 

So what you're saying is that it ran pretty good before he installed the ignition advancer and the jet kit?






J/K.

 

He said you helped him

 

Uhhhh if thats true. Thats some funny shiz.

 

Stay tuned for further updates

 

hey Doublrs will you undress...MY bike too? i need to flush my brakes, do an oil change, put on a new 520sproket/chain, another set of tires, new gas, and try to get some of the moisture buildup outta the bike. SO.....Jeff, lesss just get us some beer, a lounge chair, and watch the man do his thing...

 

Did I miss the post that said what kind of work was done to this engine?

Is it completely stock?

Was it put back together correctly?

If stock, is the timing correct, if the timing is correct then there shouldn’t be anything hitting?

Did he throw a rocker for the cam. I have had that happen to me, and it scared the living sht out of me. I was lucky and it was a simple fix.

Is the cam chain loose? That cam make some serious clanking noises.

Are the valve clearances correct? That can make some serious ticking noises.

If it was a bearing there would likely be serious loss of power above idle. Also, the crankshaft could be toast if that was the case. This will be a disaster.

Pull the valve cover and hope it is the cam chain tensioner.

The valve timing and a lose cam chain can make VERY scary noises, and can be catastrophic if not taken care of. However, the bright side is these are merely maintenance items. You just need to know how to take care of them.

 

LOL, i cant believe this made it to page 3 before someone mentioned this. If its a honda, chances are the FIRST thing to start rattling is the tensioner. Easy fix as well.

and BTW, WTF is Gawd???

 

Hey, hey, easy! I helped him with the helicoils, steering damper, wiring, radiator and chain/sprockets install.

I'm askeered of carbs and jet kits and ignition advancers.

 

UPDATE...

My back is freakin killin me...anybody got a back brace and some icy hot...ok...seriously....

Pulled Carbs & Headers...looking at valves, all look ok...as far as correct position goes...i'm not entirely sure..but they all appear to be functioning normally when i turn it over...

When i hit the starter...the big pinging is gone, however it has been replaced by a sound like someone clicking there tongue against the bottom of their mouth...it is difficult to tell whether it is coming from all four cyclinders..in which case thats good or just the one...it sounds more like all four cylinders...however it also sounds like it would be a metal object hitting inside a cyclinder...only it sounds like a vaccumm pop as opposed to metal hitting metal


Oh..and earlier...it wouldn't ping when it was idling..only after 5k rpm

 

oh...

and if anyone wants to call me to get a little bit better details my number is 704-287-9990

I haven't eaten all day so it's time to go get some grub....

 

They're going to give me credit towards the next track day of my choice i think...you want to pay face value?
