No rattles as such, ran up to temp topping coolant and checking oil no leaks all good.

On start up from running temp a screech on turnover then disappeared I belief this the manual ccts being a little tight.

Need to check again from cold tomorrow to replicate, question is how I deal with the problem have read so many posts on the subject head is in the shed.
Any advice will be well received.

As per instructions provided with purchased ccts and site instruction but did not measure chain slack.
Was hoping could back them off without removing cam cover as all new gaskets and cam bolt washers fitted.
Thanks for the help.

I would suggest backing out the adjuster on one cylinder first one or two flats, if you were able to tell which cylinder you heard the screech from then do that one first. You want to do that when the engine is stone cold, so if the first cylinder you go for doesn't cure the screech try the other one the next day so the engine is cold. Good luck,

Chris.

Freshley charged battery. Check.

Fresh fule. Check.

Hit the starter several times to pull some fule through. Drained carbs...

Hold the starter & eventualy it springs into life.

Run it up to fan kicks in...All good execpt...

Horrible blowing from the rear header. On inspection the header has dropped down about an inch

This was probably from the Wales slide. I had used it a few times after Wales before putting it in hibbernation & it was probably doing it then but with ear plugs & a helmet on I never noticed it...

Sitting on it today whilst warming it up it was fairly noticeable

So dropped the oil as that was the plan any way, then once it had cooled down a bit further inspection showed the issue, the clamp was a little loose but as the pipe had dropped down it needed to be pushed back up.

This is the Mori Ti system so no graphite gaskets in there...

Gave it a few whacks with the deadblow hammer but it didn't budge... Then

I pinged the springs off to take the tension off & used me trolly jack under the lower part of the header to slowly jack it up, the rear downpipe has a stopper ridge on it, got it bob on, re set the clamp in the right spot tightened it up...& had to wait till the oil was back in before testing it...

Pleased to say all is now good.

Checked all the lights & indis put a bit of air in the boots...Good to go.

Gonna get a ride out tomorrow... probably about £60 worth of fule to look forward to...
