Measured it. Yup it's in spec. Now what?

Noise may have multiple sources. If you've done 2 out of 27 (cam chain & tensioner), then move onto other causes:
1. valve-clearance done and all within spec?
2. measure rod-bearing clearances
3. compression check?
4. piston to cylinder clearances
5. clutch-roller play?
6. starter ring-gear loose? it has brass sleeve bearing that can wear out.
7.
