[QUOTE="Trfsrfr, post: 206243, member: 3959"] Wow, tough crowd. I just got done reading some other very entertaining threads that have the same 'usual suspects' as this thread...hmmm, go figure. However, since I can take it as well as dish it, I am gonna throw myself under the bus here, and shamefully give the latest update, and let them judge me... And here it is; I'm a moron. I understand (Edit: at least [I]I think I understand[/I] more of) why it's noisy now. Had some operator error going on here, but we're all straight now, I think... As it turns out, some of those valve clearance numbers I gave before, weren't in mm. I tried to convert everything to .001". Long story short - In my 3-4 pages of specs taken, with every conversion made, tightest to loosest, lots of different ranges coinciding with other ranges of things measured in a different measuring system...ahh... It was all mathematical orgasmic bliss for a person that can float effortlessly between those 2 realms, oil stained pages in the manual, slippery pencils, notepads, and loves math more than other things...like girls, and bikes, guitars, and living, and things of that nature. So after 3 pages of figures I had my breaking point, and started from scratch, w everything in (sort of) mm. I stuck my decimal inch feeler gauge in, then measured that with the mm setting on my digital caliper. So to sum up - I need thicker shims, and then whatever after that. [/QUOTE]
