i just replaced the head gaskets on my 02 sporty. i there is a knocking(pinging) sound coming from the rockers. i m not sure if it the push rod,valves or the rocker arms itself.i would somebody to listen to it to tell if it bad or just keep riding. i tighten the head bolts alittle tighter then before(i tightened them to the gasket instuctions not the fm torque and turn method)i tightened it to 45ft pounds.i think i install every thing correct because this my 3rd time doing this. i had alittle to much oil at first. drain some and it got a little better,but i v read that its a sporty and the valve make some noise some time.i didnt change the valves or the seats. just need some advise.
thanks
