[QUOTE="mcgovern61, post: 8192, member: 59"] Joe, no hard feelings! This is the place to have open discussions and pass on our experiences. When I did the oil pressure drop test, I was doing it to see if that is what was causing the high pitch tapping. It was an observation primarily. I asked other Honda guys about it and they said that no one has ever asked if the OP drops when the bike is put on the side stand so I had nothing else to go by. The point of that video is so that I can honestly present the sounds that the engine makes. Before the crash, we had a fairly long thread on the tapping/knocking sound and we never did draw any final conclusions other than my opinion that I thought the bearings might be loose? Either way, I kept riding the bike and a year after the videos were made (and another 3000 miles) the engine was still running the same, still has power, still starts instantly and still has that tapping/knocking at 3000ish rpm when hot. I had purchased the '83 engine from ebay, but it took 1 year before I had a chance to swap them out and kept on riding right up until the swap. I have these videos on youtube and the comments that I have gotten range from "that sounds just like my engine" to "oohh man"! As I posted earlier, we were going to open up the engine this summer to finally see if we could determine what causes that sound (and not sure we would have absolute success finding it). But, it is still in one piece and operational right now and I am trying to present it honestly. I still have some of the blown '82 engine parts and after we opened up the '81 if it was easy to correct I was going to install the '82 transmission to change the gearing to match the bike and have a spare engine.
