I adjusted my valves and now

[rs50fox]

I finally adjusted my valves and it is still ticking but it is not ticking as bad. What could it be? also what should I do to fix or find the problem?
thanks,
Brian

Make sure you are doing everything at TDC and all of your procedures.

If it is the stock cam the decompression valve on the cam my be screwed. The only way that you can fix this is to get another cam.

If it is a Hotcam ticking is normal and there is not much that you can do.

I am going to go over the valves one more time in the morning. I dont think it has a cam but its been doing it since I can rember I think. thanks for the help 400exstud

I have only used honda oil but I think I am going to run synthetic oil soon. But how can I be sure that the piston is @ tdc?

Nvm I got it but it still ticks not as bad valvrs are perfectly adjusted. If it the valves burn they burn if they dont they dont. I am going to rebulid it soon. thanks for the help
