95 Savage Ping/Tick Noise!!!!!!
07/15/14 at 12:53:05

I have a 95 ls650 savage with 7k original miles. its had a ping or tick noise since ive owned it. I first thought it was the timing chain tensioner so I had it upgraded buy Verslagen1 and I still have the noise. Ive changed the oil on time and before the tensioner upgrade it had the valves adjusted/ They have not been adjusted since the upgraded. I took a video with my phone so I hope the quality is good enough to help. Thanks in advance.
