[QUOTE="69ST, post: 185949, member: 5"] Did you try setting the valve lash as tight as it could go, while still allowing the valves to fully close? Remember, this is only a short-duration test procedure, you can leave the valves that tight for very long. I've never checked a brand new cam chain for lateral deflection. And they typically are so tight, when first installed, that it's a bit unnerving. If the cam chain were slapping against the cylinder jug tunnel, it would create a lot of shiny aluminum fragments that would be all but impossible to miss while draining the oil. As for gaskets, I've not had any real issues with any brand. Worst problem has been excessive gasket length sticking out from the case halves; 30 seconds and a single edge blade was all it took to trim that unsightly overhang. [/QUOTE]
