does anyone hear a noise that kinda sounds like their engine uses diesel fuel?

i just got this gsr 98 with 38k miles i didnt notice it till now.... any ideas is this normal?

 

If it's a relatively light sounding takatakataka it might just be valvetrain noise. You probably need to get your valve lash adjusted.

However, if it's an uneven firing noise...could be a host of things (e.g., timing out of spec).

 

yeah...mine makes the light takakakakaka sound....what the crap is that?

 

it only makes the takatakataka sound when it first starts up..then it kinda goes away...

 

It's either injectors or if it makes a tick tick tick tick sound then you need to get your valves adjusted.
