Engine oil leaking from the Engine Head Valve cover.

I really didn't get that, but if your talking about the tensioniser then it has a spring as you already know and in my bike's case it just pops out on moving the screw, so it remains completely open, and applying equated pressure over the chain, its yellow plastic in your bike's case.
i believe it should have been white, but prolonged dipping in oil made it turn yellow.
as far as the 3 bond goes, my bike's head doesn't have a gasket, 3 bond isn't silicon, my bike's head is attached by 3 bond itself, its a white sealant, as far as i know many other bike's have the same scenario too.
the places which do not need to be opened are generally gasketized.
but you just installed the same gasket again by cleaning it, so if the head was never before opened, and the gasket wasn't changed, how did the oil leak start ??Giving a lot to a fiero.
Expecting a lot from a fiero.

the tensioner is adjustable, basically you put it INSIDE first when your about the install it, after successful installing, you move the screw so that the spring pops out inside and holds the plastic tube carrying equated pressure.
That's the correct way to do it.
Besides there are o-rings which works as tensioniser's packing, it uses more than 1 o ring generally, last time i forgot to install one of those o rings so had a lot of oil issues.
I hope that's taken care of in your case.Giving a lot to a fiero.

The "screw" marked by you is just a cover.
after removing that screw completely outside you'll see an o ring, and another groove to put your screwdriver in.
put your screwdriver inside that, and tilt it 90 degrees anticlockwise, this will pop the pushing rod completely out (fully open).
you can remove the entire tensioner and see for yourself how it works.
rotate it clockwise, and it will go inside, after the max point it just pops out again, or maybe there's a lock, give it a try, its been long I've done this.
it just needs to be fully open once inside, that will get rid of all the noises.
after doing this job, put the o ring back and the shiny screw back too.
i hope i am clear this time.Giving a lot to a fiero.

Great! Will try this next time whenever I can manage. But right now I don’t want to remove the Tensioner. Don’t want to mess with it more. Yes very much clear this one, just one thing.Originally posted by NANOtechnology View PostThe "screw" marked by you is just a cover.

“put your screwdriver inside that, and tilt it 90 degrees anticlockwise,”
Tilt it or rotate the screwdriver? I think you mean to rotate it anticlockwise any way.
Now one thing, if it pops it out then again after a few time will it get back to its previous position? Or when I will start the engine it will get adjusted by itself?
Thanks a lot.Speed is a joy but roads are not race track. Keep speed in your limit and always Drive safe...

rotate it, hence i used the term 'anticlockwise'
Besides once it pops out, it will remain as it is forever, no need to fiddle with it anymore, now that pressure applied as its being completely open, is the optimal adjustment, the tensioner is designed to keep that amount of pressure all the time.Giving a lot to a fiero.

Chain seems perfectly seated those 'gaps' marked by you are normal, this chain isn't the one that we're used to seeing so its seating position is that way, it completely fine, it seems the tensioner is also perfectly adjusted, neither too loose, nor too tight, no need to fiddle around with it.
In my bike, the rubber slider (instead of brown plastic in your case) is only present on the tensioner's side.
and its impossible to see the chain from the top as there's a different groove on the cylinder specially meant for the timing chain.
giving you hardly 2mm more area around the sides to look at.
BTW nice pic, you've got photo skills

That's the timing, DO NOT MESS WITH IT.Originally posted by soumen.sam View Post--
the can shaft opens and closes the inlet and the outlet valves with the piston's travel and its matched with a perfect timing.
IF the timing isn't exactly as it should be, DO GET IT CORRECTED FROM A MECH ASAP.
then you read the 'T' through the hole, it means your piston is exactly at TDC (top dead center) means at the highest part of the stroke length, and that's when the pulse coil will generate a spark.
If your spark will mismatch its timing, it will either happen before or after, which can lead to major problems.
the mechanic will adjust your CAM shaft so that the T and the line falls exactly where it should.
do get it corrected, and DO NOT TRY THIS YOURSELF.
besides, i too have the same Vega Boolean helmet (matt black), and the inner scoop over the ear is enough to hold a standard bluetooth headset perfectly without any issues.
however since i wear a Beanie and then wear a helmet over it, i don't use it anymore.Giving a lot to a fiero.

Yes definitely I wont, I just asked the marking issue. Thanks a lot any way.Originally posted by NANOtechnology View PostThat's the timing, DO NOT MESS WITH IT.

Yes I too wearing a Bluetooth headset inside the helmet, but its all about gadget and fashions.Last edited by soumen.sam; 02-04-2011, 11:43 AM.Speed is a joy but roads are not race track. Keep speed in your limit and always Drive safe...
