I assume the HG change was a success? All running fine now?
Yeah, done 230 miles since with no issues but I have been gentle with it.
I do have a tappy top end noise that increases with both revs and load.
I'm tempted to investigate but I think I know what it is and if it is the case I'm not fixing it.
There was a lump on the top of no4 piston that I couldn't shift, it had made it's own dent in the valve in the old head from repeatedly hitting it. I assume this one will do the same eventually and it is going away gradually.
I meant to do something about it but the pistons don't protrude enough to get a file over it, my dermmel is shit and other than that I only have a 9" grinder. Should have tried a flap wheel in a drill but that didn't occur to me at the time.
