    valves

    I'm willing to pay someone 50 bucks to come buy and help guide me in doing my valves. I did them saturday but now it sounds like a car that has a bunch of lifters knocking. Anyone close that would be willing to drop buy and offer me a hand and some knowledge would be greatly appeciated.
    I didnt do it I swear !!

    Welcome to the 16 valve head. They are noisy.

    If this is how you measured with the cam lobe not pressing on the rocker than you are golden.

        I don't know........I wouldn't say my 750 is noisey.......Are you certain that all the locknuts are tightened ? And that clearences are correct ? I think I checked mine 4 times before I put the valve cover on.

          yeah its noisy as can be. i did my best at checking them, this being my first time with this kind of valve adjustment has just got me worried. Steve and thecafekid showed me how to do the shims but these things are just bugging me lol.
