    I didn't read everything; Make sure your engine won't fire up, let the engine turn over,  untighten the screw so the automatic tensioner will tighten your can chain tensioner. Then let the screw go/loose.

    Tensioner should be set right.

    If it still rattles, tensioner is f@cked, or you need te replace cam chain.

    A manual cam chain tensioner is not a bad idea.

     

    Fixed it buddy :-) 

    dont know what was wrong in the end haha took off and put back all cams etc and it stopped rattling

  2. Update!!! 

    Took it all off!!! Threw a paddy and started again. Chain guide out, cans off, tensioner off, the lot.

    kinda did valve clearances to the best I can without the proper tools. 

    Re did it all and it's fixed!!

    not got a clue what it was!!!!

  3. Bandit 1200 (now 1216) turbo. 1998.

    had engine out, re bored and built back up. Starts and runs nicely but has the rattling noise. Checked can chain and seems taught, checked timing 1000000 times and is spot on.

    just been moving the rocker arms and they have slight up and down movement (maybe 1mm) on all but 1.

    could this be coursing the noise? I haven't touched them tho just cams off and back in again so don't know how they could have moved.....

  4. Ok so I have just built up my 1216 engine. With some faffing with the timing......

    now I have it running and its long smoothly with everything correctly done according to mr HAYNES.

    now when I Rev it, there is a rattle coming from the cam cover. Is this the cam chain?? I have done the auto chain tensioner how it should be.

    i read on the internet that these things sometimes stick, it ratcheted out when I turned the engine over by a 19mm spanner.

    is it correct in thinking it could be stuck between teeth and I should back the bolts out either side of the tensioner until it clicks, then tighten again??  Or am I thinking it is something completely different from the actual problem?? 

    Thanks guys!!

    I have a full system that i put on for sound testing. Put the stubby back on after. On the move on track turbo damps out enough noise not to set ride by monitors off

    i have just (roughly) welded up an 'exhaust' that I can slip my end can and link pipe into, can be slipped out with just removing a bolt so will see if it's too load on the track without it. 

    What do they do if it is too load on the track? Just warn you and tell you to make it quite rot kick you off?
