White smoke and a lack of power???

Ill have to take pics of the studs maybe they aren't the original?

I think that the not running is the way to go lol

Yeah, do it not running. That cam chain throws oil amazing distances.

Oh, these engines seem to all have noisy rockers. Most of the ones I have messed with made noise because they were too tight, not too loose. Keep that in mind when you adjust them. The feeler gauge is your friend.

Put the new guide, rocker, and stud on today. Runs A LOT better, has more power than it did before and doesn't smoke. Wont be able to work on it for the next few days so going to finish it all up and do the gap measurement in bit.
Thanks for all the help!!!

Thanks
Doc

Sounds like things are moving in the right direction at least!

Just as a random question, what thickness feeler guage is used for proper setting of the rockers?

Nevermind...I found it in the manual :) 0.008 inch.

Do you still need the rocker guard?
