I will put it plain and simple.
I just rebuilt my engine and found some things that had me calling friends to find out why!
#1-the exhaust cam had no shims under it!
#2-the exhaust valves are steel
I had the Suzuki head builder at my shop come over to my house to figure why my engie is making ticking noise that keeps pace with the throttle and i knew it was in the head.I had every thing perfect but we both noticed that the bucket that holds the shim on the left side didnt have the same spiral a normal one would have so i took it out and it didnt have one.
The other side didnt have one nor did the intake so now I get to start off with a 235 shim and work my way up till i find the right size.
The ticking was normal the first few weeks i had it but after i rebuilt it i became more aware of it.
Has any one else found things like this or am i just lucky.
