I wouldn't do a thing with the engine 100 PSIG/cyl is OK The front end noise could be such things as the front motor mount a bad wheel bearing or a front tire with over 12K miles on it If the cam is orig I'd put in an EV-13 Andrews/ new torrington cam bearing/adj pushrods and ride it like you stole it!

I will check into an Andrews cam, i need barrel gaskets cause mine are weaping so I want to pull the barrels for that reason as well!
lots of thoughts on change this winter. I might pull the king pack to lower the profile, I have not yet decided on the origional fender with the light or leave the chrome one on. But the engine & the hidious rattle are my first target. didnt get a chance to fire it up today but I will tomorrow & I will try once again to isolate the sound!

I had a rattle that I could not for the life of me find, turned out it was the wire for the fender tip light got a little slack in it and was vibrating against the front fender.
