Default Tick. tick. tick.

For about a week I was convinced that I had more than a slight rocker tick and it was driving me nuts. Checked lifters, pushrods, did a 3 hole fluid change, primary chain etc. etc. last night pulling it into the basement I noticed my heel toe shifter dancing a little too much. Tightened up the inner shifter arm. EUREKA! After that she sounds as smooth as a sewing machine. I know you guys understand this feeling. Just sharing my joy!

Ain't it a bitch we go to the most probable culprit only to learn later, or even the next day it was something totally unrelated to what we initially thought it was?
