No performance issues, and not loud when throttling.... you can't hear it when riding.. seems to only be during idle... reminds me of a chain randomly nicking a guard.. strange huh?

I haven't picked one up yet, how are you supposed to use that without melting it to the engine, or are they aluminum on the piece you touch to the engine?

Simply place one end of wooden handle on different parts of the engine, put your ear on the other end. Be supprised how well it works.

Stethoscopes for mechanics have a long thin metal rod you place against the various points you want to listen to.

You can use a long screwdriver. Place the tip against the point you want to listen to & put your ear against the end of the handle. I did this for years before they started selling mechanics' stethoscopes. Grin

My first boss had a small can attached to a piece of 3/16" brazing rod about 18" long. He used a die to cut threads on one end of the rod & attached it to the center of the botton of the can. Works really good because the can focuses the sound to your ear. If you decide to make one, you could use a vienna sausage can & a long 1/4" bolt with the head cut off & ground to a point. Not so pretty, but it will work. Cool

The stethoscope allows you to use it on moving parts (ie- lifters) where a screwdriver will just bang you in the ear. (don't ask me how I know this) It also allows you to listen in places where you can't use a screwdriver.

When did you have it listened to by a mechanic/ What exactly did he say?
Not the same guy who put your Raask on I hope. Huh
