Nice , probably going to have to rollerise my 2010 Stelvio @ 8000 miles. Following your advise on the Guzzi forums, just have to identify which kit I need.

[@peterroper617]

No 'Probably' about it and the sooner you do it the less chance of further damage.

@@peterroper617 Once I check its not been done & whether it's an A or B kit it's getting ordered. Fingers crossed it's not to bad already. Luckily I can do this myself no worries. Thanks for your guidance on this topic.

@@onewhocansea4228 It will either be a 'C' kit or a 'B' kit. Look at the side of the head that faces into the valley. Close to the manufacturers date stamp, probably partially hidden by the bracket that holds the head to the frame, there will either be, or not be, a drill mark in the black paint of the head. If that drill mark is there it's a 'B' kit bike. If the paint is unsullied then it is a 'C' kit bike and requires the head pulling to insert shims under the inlet valve spring seats. If you visit Griso Ghetto and look for my definitive guide to rollerisation I have covered what kit services which bike in some depth and pitfalls to be avoided.

@@onewhocansea4228 Excellent! That means it's a 'B' kit bike. The heads can stay on. With care you can complete the job without even taking the tank off! Email me and I can explain. I'll have lots of time, I've just tested positive for bloody Covid!

Hello . I have a problem since returning from Estonia. I thought they were old style camshafts. I was in the garage on Saturday and found time to look at the bike. It is good because the timing gear is of a new type, and the entire keyboard seems to be in very good condition. I ruled out a problem with the roller and pushers. Unfortunately, I don't know what else could be the problem. It makes noise like a timing chain, but these metallic, knocking I don't know what generates them.

Probably the gasket between the sump spacer and the block has blown out around the delivery gallery to the front main bearing. Drop the sump, remove the oil pick ups and then remove the sump spacer. The damage is usually obvious. The blown gasket doesn't produce any external leaking as the oil simply bleeds back into the sump. When you replace the gasket do not use the stock factory gasket as these are the source of the problem as they are lousy quality and made of a very thin frangible material. You can use a thicker aftermarket gasket with much greater compressibility which allows better clamping and won't blow out. If you are getting a knocking noise along with the camchain rattle, (The chain rattle is caused by the tensioner plungers not getting sufficient oil due to the blown gasket.) it would be wise to drop off the big end caps and inspect the big end bearings while the sump and spacer are off. It is most likely that you will find the shells damaged and in need of replacement. Do it now while the sump is off otherwise you'll be going back in in a few months time.

Thank you very much for your willingness to help. The problem for me is also winter, I have a cold garage;) and I'm waiting for spring. I live in Wrocław and my beloved motorcycle has a garage at my parents' place 100 km away. No service wanted to help, not even the Warsaw Ducati dealer. I have always serviced all the motorcycles I have had myself because it is far from a service station. Yamaha Super Tenere 750, Fazer fzs 1000, crf 250l, cz 350 are simple motorcycles. But to Stelvio a bit of Italian heart. I also recorded a video of firing on a cold and warm engine. Only I have no way to send you a link to KZbin, unless priv to the e-mail address.

I could watch you strip the entire bike narrating as you go. So next video taking the cylinder head off for a 2008 kit fit.
