Everyone I need some help here. I have the 06 Ultra that is in my sig and have a engine problem. It is a high pitch engine knock from the top end.

 

This is a metal on metal sound. But will come and go. Over the last 200 miles it is really getting bad. I will try in the morning to make a dealer in Sioux Falls about 90 miles away. I am presently in Sioux City tonight. Any body have any ideas.

 

Just a guess but sounds like a lifter may have took a sh////t

 

I just started pulling a small trailer and am also running Mobil 1 15w 50. Could either of these cause this to happen? It almost sounds like a tappet bearing???? Will dealers this close to Sturgis have any staff on Sundays? And is this a problem that could cause major damage if I try the 90 mile run in the morning. I really need some expert tech help here.

 

motorcycle oil or car oil?

 

What happens if it is bad lifter and I keep riding. Even the 90 miles in the morning?

 

When you went to the gear drive did you use adjusable push rods???

 

Looks like he left sharknose....

 

Not sure if they were adjustable or not.

 

I am running a oil cooler and a digital temp gauge that only reached a high of 221 today.
