metallic ticking noise
Hi,
I have a Dyna 1983 with evo engine.......recently heard a noisy metallic ticking noise, can not pin point where it is coming from, maybe the pushrods....but had those out gave them a bit of a service, but still the ticking noise is there.
Have you guys any ideas on what it could be???
Please help
Jo

If everything else is tight (within clearances), they are usually the culprit. If it is not apparent, you can also have them tested for a weak spring. Fast compression will make the 'tick' like mine.

Do you hear the "Ticking" noise aroung the cylinders of the engine. If so could be anything from the crank to the piston. I had a piston rod snap, but just before it did, I too heard a ticking noise...then BOOM![sm=bomb.gif]
