I put my oiler gear in backwards and it totally jammed the motor. I couldn’t even get the bike to crank. Unrelated, what kind of seat is that? Looks pretty thick in the video.

Stock seat modified by Russell Cycle - I had them add a few inches of foam so that the seat is now flat all the way across. Before the mod, being 6'4, I used to ride on the pillion portion of the seat.

I appreciate the info on the gear but I didn't remove the basket I left it in and I checked oil pressure and it's getting pretty good pressure.

Or run the bike without the exhaust to see if it still sounds like that to eliminate the potential cause.

Ok so i pretty much factory reset everything this morning. I loosened the valves completely where they had tons of play triple checked the TDC on compression stroke. Put them down to .003" and loosened the decomp. and started it. As it ran I slowly adjusted decomp until it clicked and backed it off just a hair till it wasn't making any noise. i got on it rode it up my forever driveway and back down and the only chatter I heard was from under clutch cover. Now while I'm on here ill ask, do I need to order new gasket or can I use Permatex black? I use it on pretty much everything but I noticed the gasket for clutch is just a little different where it has the red area around the top.

Clutch gasket is reusable, but if its too damaged to be reused, I would order a new one. Its a really high quality gasket, I wouldn't replace it with sealant unless really in a pinch.

Mine was tighter than that when I moved to the 2nd hole on the Verslavy cam chain tensioner. Hopefully Verslagen can comment, but it appears the plugger should be grabbing the next notch and keeping the chain tensioned. I don't think it's supposed to have any free play like that. Verslagen would know and can name the parts correctly. (I forget the name of the part that has the notches and hold the plugger at a certain length.)
