For anybody confused on what i’m saying. I adjusted the valve clearances not on TDC. I did try to adjust them on tdc but i still had a ticking noise. The timing was %100 right. Clearances were in spec, the only thing that could’ve happened is possibly another valve feeler gauge got stuck underneath it at the time of inspection. Or something like the rockers are so worn down. But this goes to show that it doesn’t have to be a TDC to make the adjustment, I was having a ticking noise that wouldn’t go away (the valve clearances were so loose when spinning the engine over it was like a half an inch of play!) Just make sure the valves are open.
Yes i know, here was my problem I adjusted the clearances at top dead center and it still was ticking, so i turned the engine over to another spot and the valves where really loose so i tightened them (when the valves were open) and it fixed the noise
@@motorcore_usaYou must have adjusted at TDC at valve overlap instead of TDC compression stroke. As long as you adjust valves when the cam lobe is at the base circle, off the ramp of the lobe, TDC doesn't matter. If you need to remove cams to make shim changes though it is better to follow service manual and pay attention to timing marks.
@@connor3288I followed the manual, there are different spots to time it and it’s supposed to be timed to the letter “T” with the dot facing up. The timing is good, with one cam you really can’t mess it up

Always show *Before & After engine noise* to compare .. Helpful for us.

It's called TDC top dead center and it's on a specific stroke of the engine

@@connor3288if the timing is even slightly off it most likely will not run, or if it does it’ll run horribly
I tried to do this one my 2 stroke but I couldn’t find where to make the clearance
Under the valve cover of course. Let me know when you find it🤡
@@connor3288 I still can’t find it like fr fr my kx112 is making a horrible ticking noise
@@Gxsr750 Did you try turning it off and back on?🤡
Lol
There is more to it ...there are cold settings and hot setting that the secret.
Of course there is. But the manual only gives you one option and that’s going to be the cold setting never the hot.
