    mine has started doing this latly sounds like from around the cylinder :msn1:

    not had a decent look though.

    only started since i i tightened the exhaust.

    so maybe passed the vibrations else where

    have your checked stator and flywheel? if not it aint gonna take 5 mins to whip the tranny off and have a peek, might be worth while mate, my runner done the same thing and and weeks later the bloody variator stripped the splines off my crank :(
