I was going to post this in the engine forum, but I can't sorry....
OK.. I opened up my cam cover today because there's a little noise coming from the bottom end. Upon looking inside I noticed that there is a wear pattern on the outside of both sides of of the cam? Now as a car person I know that this isn't good!
Now I purchased this bike used, didn't hear any noises, changed the oil to syn 3. So I guess my question is the old out was 50 weight and going to syn 3 could it have caused pushrod to have slipped over a hair?
Now replacing the cam? Should I go with gears instead of the chain?
And now that the cam has to be replaced what is the best cam and pushrods to put in..
Thank you for your time... And sorry for any confusion I may have caused reading this..
