Hi Tim, I'd already thought of that, but that's not it (I was HOPING it was). Mine is a 1966 with the tensioner, and I pulled the cover and ran the bike for just a tiny bit, and there is no noise there, nor does it flop very much.

Thanks Deuce, I'm almost certain it isn't piston slap, nor rod / wrist pin. When I had the head off I checked things out (not with a calipers, but ...) and everything looks very good.

Relief! Motor was NOT 180 degrees off. When I moved the cam chain one tooth, the timing ended up very far advanced. Made the adjustment to the points / plate. Now the plate is right in the middle where it should be. Interestingly, I was still getting a lot of "popping" and backfiring at low rpm's wi...
