I forgot to snug my tensinor down before rotating my motor over by hand, it jumped a tooth on me. Luckily I caught it before I did any damage. That's why I always double check everything. But the on/off clicking has me wondering? makes me think valves hitting. :dry:

ya, your right...but not the problem.....it will make sense when I tell you.

went to 16 center pin and didn't go to the long chain

head gasket over hanging bore?

it was a weird mistake, but not an install mistake. I did it on purpose.
