I'd listen to each valve cover, and generally all over
Up There
And see if I could find a difference, front to rear, left to right.
If it's the same sound, it's either okay or It's wrong, evenly.
A piece of plastic tubing that fits in the ear is handy. A piece of windshield washer or vacuum tubing, and a metal rod in it, a genuine stethoscope, a screwdriver, press the bony part in front of the ear on the handle, lots of ways to get an idea where a noise is coming from.

Hey all,

Not the best news.

So I went back into the valve inspection covers to check. On TDC Compression, one of the valves was overtightened to .0015"... So I loosened it. Matched them all up to .004" to give some leeway. Started the bike up, and it purred. No more pinging. Rode it about 50 miles. Died. Completely. Exhaust was on fire, and it won't start back up again.....

Going to do a teardown in the shop tomorrow.

The air filter foam got sucked into the intake and was preventing air from getting into the mixture. So I used some chicken wire mesh to refashion the air filter and whala. All good!
