Clive has told me that the later bikes did not have this problem and you can clearly hear the tapping if you have this issue. My main engine noise when I went over it today was the primary chain and tightening that up made a massive difference.

I have had my screwdriver against the engine and my top end appears quite quiet especially at the lower end of the barrel.

I have a slight tapping at the top of the stroke but I guess this is usual engine noise especially with such a big piston other than that I need some good weather for a good ride
