954 CCT Question - Page 2

Well its stripped down with the valve cover ready to come off now. I'll probably measure them tomorrow morning.

I'm not sure what I'm hoping to find.

If they're out, I dont want to adjust them myself so I gotta pay for someone else to do it.

If they're in spec, then the noise I'm hearing is coming from somewhere else and I wont know if it's normal or not. That will just drive me nuts until I break down and buy a manual CCT.

Well it's all measured and put back together. They were in spec. The ones that were not dead on were actually on the tight end of the range. So I guess I'll ride it like this for now and eventually bring it in for an adjustment and maybe a tensioner at the same time.

Well the GF and I took a ride tonight and when we stopped for a break I looked down and found oil on my foot. The whole right side of the bike was covered by the time I got home. Looks like I have to tear back into her and straighten out the Valve cover gasket that apparently got pinched during reassembly
