Motorcycle Repair: 74 Shovelhead knock, valve train, rocker arm
QuestionHey buddy, I have a 1974 Shovelhead and the other day I heard a hollow knock in the rear head, not a rod knock knock knock with rythym but an occasional one. I checked compression and its good, I checked pushrod adjustment and its good also. The bike still runs great but I cant specify exactly where it is coming from. If you have any ideas, shoot them my way because next step is the shop. Thanks
AnswerKyle,can you isolate the noise to a cylinder or head or the upper part like the valve train area. Untill the noise can be located to a specific area it tough to say its this problem and be accurate. Sorry it could be as simple as the gap between the rocker arm and the valve stem.
