2001 Rancher 350 tapping niose. NEED HELP!!!
I have a Rancher 350 that has a tapping noise comming from the end that I can't seem to locate the sorce. Heres a quick run down of what happened. To start with we got water in the oil(another long story) and it started smoking so I pulled the top end, had it bored and put new piston and rings in. After that the cam chain started making noise so I pulled the engine and put a new chain,tensioner and guide in it. While I had the engine out I took the front cover off as well and cleaned as much crap out as I could to ensure there was no more water in it. The noise sounds like the valves are out of adjustment but I have checked the twice and the are dead on. It's a little louder when the engine is cold. The bike runs great otherwise and of course I have it sold but I can't let I go making a noise like this. Sorry for the lengthy post but it's been a long battle. Any input would be GREATLY appreciated.

when you did the rings and new piston how did the new piston pin fit in the old conecting rod ? with a piston pin knock you will hear it more at idle then at rpm
