finaly found the cause of the ticking noise i could hear..

Post by chuxsta »

for a while i have had this distinct ticking noise bugging me..

every one thats heard it has said dont worry about it just ride the bloody thing.....

after taking the end caps off my cans to clean where the previous owner had used autosol and not bothered to clean the residue from under the bolts.

i managed to drop a very very small locking washer down the can into the rest of the exhast system. why it had 2x locking washers on the back of the end cap on all 3 bolts is beyond me..

so what started out to be a 2 min cleaning job ended up been a 3 hour ball ache..

after removing the entire exhaust system i noticed that the join where it goes to the rear cylinder was so loose it was like feeding a tic tac to a whale. even with the exhasut clamp done up reet tight it still came out..
