Tommyk Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 Ok mate. Il have to find out don't like the sound of it haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 you nead to tension the intake cam cog then just reinstall it the sound will be gone and 9nm torque on the caps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GP82 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Yup there is the service bolt that should have been installed so the sub gear is aligned with the adjacent gear on the camshaft sprocket. Your gonna need to find a way so these gears on the sprocket align to let you get the service bolt through. After you have confirmed the valve clearence's, on the final assembly, you install the camshafts with the service bolt still there. After you have torqued the cam caps, you just take the service bolt off to get the gears on camshaft tensioned. Good luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
