I have recently noticed a tapping noise from my bike, is it normal? Guys in Thunder Road says it may be the cam chain tensioner needs replacing, cost of £225 ...
feels like i lost a brother, i need a fuckin tissue... somebody call a
doctor my chariot has compression issues, gasket/basket...lifters or spun
bearing .??.. i think new crank will fix the job...is this a wise decision
??
This is an 85' GM 454. It got hot and blew the upper rad hose(replaced). Thermostat was stuck closed (replaced). Now it will not idle. Will shut off unless given ...
I'm actually looking at buying a 85 southwind possibly within the next
week. I can tell ya I had the same problem with a motor in my dodge that I
was certain it was a rod or lifter and it turned out to be the mechanical
fuel pump. If ya put a long metal pipe to the motor then cover the end with
your thumb and ear ya can pinpoint where in the motor the sound is coming
from or spend 15 bucks and get a mechanics stethescope. Good luck.
