Sometimes, when it first starts is there a single hard knock sound?

btw, do you have enough oil in that engine?

I checked whether the oil comes up to the cylinder head ... and I checked the oil pressure ...and everithing is ok...Then I decided to take off engine from frame and check condition off head,barrel and piston...engine is on the table http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/...ps01486210.jpg


I'd appreciate it if anyone would have to give me a link or send me the workshop manual to mail...

thanks...head and barrel are removed from engine...what I found:cam on camshaft are worn and with measuring i determine that is under tolerance(especially exhaust),one exhaust valve look like this http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/...psefeedaf0.jpg

piston,piston pin,barrel,small end look good without some big damage...but I take them to some workshop on measuring...

http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7f028735.jpg (small end)

http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/...psc69b7aa1.jpg (piston pin)

http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/...ps68dec3bc.jpg (piston)

http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4f129c2e.jpg (barrel)

http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3ffa20b8.jpg (camshaft1)

http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/...psa0abcd1c.jpg (camshaft2)

Hi might be to late, but I had a similar problem with the noise prominantly on the right side cover. when pulled down it was a flogged out key on the counter balance shaft to drive gear. This noise was most noisy when reved from idle as this gives max movement on the shaft. brett
