can you make a sound clip? is it a chain type tick slight but fast or a loud srong tic like a hammer hitting metal?

Its fast tick & Its In The Middle But The Ticking Sounds Louder On The Chain Side

I just put a brand new cam chain in my 02 and it's noisy but it's normal I gues if it's not a loud hard tic or knock then I wouldn't worry bout it
how far out is the cam chain tensioner if the chain is just a little loose it will make a lot of noise a tighter chain is quieter

Have you made sure the adjuster nut is tight after running it again? I've had this happen to several warriors. Best thing to do is replace the adjuster screw and lock nut. Using a tad of blue locktite on the nut threads wont hurt either. Many bikes that are ridden with severly out of adjustment valves will make more klicking noise when running, after a valve adjustment, than a bike that has had regular valve adjustments. Could be that yours ran long enough with the nut off and the valve loose to do that.

I had the adjuster nut back right off on my 366. It made a hell of a racket when it did, but I rode it back to camp like that... I put it all back together, and set the valves. It was still ticking after that, so I pulled the head apart.

I found that when the nut came off it had flat spotted the end of the valve.. I ended up rebuilding the whole head..

Loctite is the best way to save this from happening.. lol
I found this green stuff that you can put on after you set the lash. I read that it works pretty good??
