Please listen my engine sound. Chain?

If I recall it's 22mm, and so any bolt with 2 nuts jammed on will make a allen wrench. If I am correct, then any bolt 7/8" SAE will work as well with the nuts jammed.

Another way is to hear it better.......... You can use any longer socket extension as a stethoscope. With one you place it in the area where you think the sound is loudest and place an ear on the rod to hear. Then move your ear away and move the rod again to another place you want to hear and or compare.

If you have a sloppy cam chain it will be heard really well.

It's 27mm on my 2006 (and I'm pretty sure everything else too...)

Hey Mac, glad to see you back in the forum!

This is the exact issue I am having. Pulling in the clutch ceases the noise and when it is released it starts right back. Hopefully no need to worry...?
