Valve issue help (video) UPDATE
Hi guys,
I took my R90/6 out for about 60mi this morning for the first time in a month or so and it ran/sounded great. When I got back home, I had it idling in the garage and heard a loud SNAP and then clank clank clank clank, as the engine continued to run for another 10 seconds or so, before I was able to shut it off.
Just to make sure I was hearing things right, I started it back up for another 6 or 7 seconds. It seemed to be running okay but there was a noticeable clank clank clanking from the left side head. I pulled the valve cover off and noticed there was a good 1/8” of play on the intake valve.
I’ll get around to pulling the head this week hopefully, but just curious if anyone had any ideas before I get going? Thanks!
