If so, how tall are they and where did you get your cables?

Could be a few things
...could be the cam chain
...could be a real bad valve adjustment
and a few more.

check on the other side, feel by the top left oil filter cover on the clutch cover... feel a tappin'? That's a gremlin tryin' to get out, you better stop and let him out.

If you don't feel it then adjust your valves.

and I'd check to see if you got a header leak too.
