[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 18050, member: 98"] dan you sould get one of your cams off the shelf and look at it in a light stream and im sure you will be able to see how raged there cut even though they look smooth use a magnifying glass ....it only makes sense that the trip around the cam cam sould be flawless...... with as much noise as your bike is making ....i bet the rocker holders are worn bad underneath side of the rods ....thers a way to switch them out to new rod surface for them to ride on ......on another thought your 83 with its gearing taller than the 82 i worked with .....if the 1000 cams you got are from a 78-79 this might be a perfect mod for this bike ......78-79 cams are milder than 75-77 cams but there more agressive than 1100 cams ....you sould post back what the marking are on it so we can identify the what yr they are....which are even more milder than 1200 cams or any of the 4 clylinder wings i serched hard to find all this stuff out.... im confident that doing the work i did on the cams to smooth them out and rockers to is only going to have benifits even if it dont cure all the noise problems and its just not that hard to do ....just have to go slow and careful through the dreded timing belt fears and always start by loosening all valve adjusters and have all the pistons suck down in there possition first... i think a bike that gose forever in this condition eventaly sucks a valve or breaks a cam right in half or both to end its days with possible piston and cylinder damage i think this is going to be standard practise for me and my bikes now..... :mrgreen: cash what cash idint spend any :mrgreen: gerry with your motor out like it is taking the rear cover off and unpluging the drain back to the main oil resevoir i think is easy ....we can find out...true those cams up and have spare motor for the all girl pit crew to plug in ... :smilie_happy: :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
