Might be a little outside the scope of this forum but any thoughts would be appreciated. This occurred after a valve adjustment, I don't think that was the cause of the noise in and of itself I think it's either not in time or there is an issue with the timing chain. Sounds awful and I think i have likely done quite a bit of damage. Before staring it I cranked it over several times by hand, it was not hitting the valves it cranked smoothly before recording and still does after I recorded this. I disconnected the injector wires and cranked it with the starter, it sounds fine you do not hear the metallic ticking when its not running and its very consistent so I assume all the cylinders have somewhat even compression. Its Kawisaki Ninja 636 2005, DOHC inline 4 engine.
