Things not sounding too good
12/06/07 at 14:17:49
Got a gas leak this morning so I fixed that with a new filter and gas pipe from the lawn mower shop. When I was on the way to work I started to hear a strange clicking noise from the Engine. It still runs like a dream but the noise is like a very heavy valve clearance tapping. I have a Verslavy cam chain tensioner on there. but I will check the tensioner tonight. There are a lot of things it could be i know and I don't think any of them are good. by the way I checked the oil and there is plenty. Suggestions are welcomed to what this could be.

You got a Verslavy, so if it's loose chain it may tick but it won't kerpow. A loose chain should rattle a bit.
Check your valves first. If that don't fix it, check the pulley nut. And while you're at it might as well check the rest for tightness.
Check the headlight and speedo too. All kinds of noises can come from the headlight.
If you still can't find the tick, then go in.

I think a question would be, if standing still in neutral, does the ticking increase when you roll on the throttle- that would differentiate valve train stuff from speedo cable/headlight stuffff? Yes?

definately engine related, it's very loud and increases with the revs. Can the small end bearing knock on a Savage?. I presume it can. It sounds like it's coming from the top end but it's loud as hell

I assume that you are talking about the con rod. Those are just "plain bearings" at the wrist pin.

Have you used a stethoscope or screwdriver to listen to it?

It seems many of your images resemble THE SHAFT.
Which may be what steve will be feeling he is getting if the engine is gravely ill.
