[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1256306, member: 19880"] Cams only have to come off if the valve clearances are out of spec. The infamous tick that affected some Gen I FJRs has nothing to do with the cam chain or tensioner - that makes a different noise if the CCT is not keeping the slack out of the chain. (Can of marbles on the right side of the engine) The tick has to do with valve stem guides/seals. Edit: Have a look at Yamafitter's valve clearance spreadsheet in the following post: [URL="https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/136915-an-excel-valve-clearance-spreadsheet/?hl=%2B%2Bvalve+%2B%2Bcheck+%2B%2Bspreadsheet"]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/136915-an-excel-valve-clearance-spreadsheet/?hl=%2B%2Bvalve+%2B%2Bcheck+%2B%2Bspreadsheet[/URL] [/QUOTE]
