I have noticed my valve train making more noise than normal. So I am in the process of inspecting the push rods and then the lifters them selves. I have 47,200 miles on the original equipment and of course I have hit redline a few times in that time period with the race ECM. Other than that my bike is stock as can be. Also it appears a small oil leak is forming on the top of my cam cover gasket by the rear cylinder. I plan on fixing with stock parts. But was curious of others on this board, how long did your valve train last? | ||
