Yes the bike was torn down. I did it all myself.... never have done anything like it before. Yes, it took me six months. I had to gather resources, money and education. Look, it all went back together correctly and ran perfectly for 3 months after until this noise. It is quite possible that I'm dealing with rocker slop, apparently a common thing with older TC88's. Taking it apart this weekend.

I know for a fact all the bolts are torque spec. But, it's all getting opened up this weekend and we'll find out what's going on.

Rocker lockers! Saw a video on it over the weekend. I'm hoping that's all it is.

Been out riding, got back to the forums and thought I should have linked the YT video. Fellow probably a member here. I thought it was interesting. Hope your problem is simple.
Here's the link.

Exhaust stud nuts torqued? A buddy of mine developed an engine noise which turned out to simply be a missing nut (and a very loose exhaust...)

Also I can attest to the Rockout rocker lockers. I didn't have a super noisy engine to start with but it definitely quietened my top end. It sounds like a sewing machine now.
