lately my 440 has been making this loud hammering noise under load and i can figure it out, i adjusted valves and stuff but it still does it and i rode it today and it was doing it more and more, i stopped and checked the oil level and as soon as i pulled the cap off oil poured out i have no idea why there was so much. i changed the oil and the filter and only put enough oil in so that it barely touched the dipstick, i started it and let it idle for 30 sec. and checked it again and the same thing happened it was right full, the more i let it run the higher and higher the oil level got.

any ideas about this?

sounds like oil return lines are clogged or there is some trash in bottom end not letting oil back down
