No, I just figured I would put this out there for what it is worth.

Last spring I had to send out my heads for repairs(NHRS), the heads came back great, but after assembly, a clicking noise developed in the top end that was pretty bad.

When I broke the valve, it hit the piston, so I figured I had some other problem but ran it anyway, figured if I was going to tear it down again, might as well make it worth it.

Anyhow, all year it ran great, just noisy as crap. I decided the other day to check it out and after tearing of the rockerbox tops, I see that I must have switched them while the bike was down since the rockers were hitting them all this time. They had been relieved out before I got it and the previous owner had even marked them F & R.:doh

I swapped them back, fired it up, and no more clickety clacks.....

Just figured I'd throw that out there......
