I don't believe that your noise is coming from the con rod. That would be a first here. Any thoughts on the cam gear?

If I remember the shaft came out and I undid it to get it back in. Very good Idea as the sound was like that. Once again thanks for these insights. Greg, my do hickey is ok at the moment. lol take care Steve

Polar_Pilot Junior Member Offline I love YaBB 1G - SP1! Posts: 64	Re: Things not sounding too good Reply #34 - 12/11/07 at 18:06:21 how many miles in your Savage? You seem to be looking at issues which come on very high mileage bikes. Look for something simple before jumping to big issues like worn wrist pin.

You can get a 1-3" set at Harbor Freight for around $35. Any chance you have a link to the micrometers as I have searched for about an hour and even phoned them to no avail Steve

You are right. The darn things aren't shown online. If you go into the store they will be there...maybe...it might depend on the branch. I know of 2 here that have them.
