Hi All
It seems, I hope not, that my cam chain tensioner is busy giving up the ghost.
When I start the engine cold, I can hear a soft metallic clicking noise from the top of the engine.
I can hear the cams clicking, but this seems to be another noise...
It is time to check valve clearances, will do that over the weekend, but this has me a little worried.  :-\

Has anybody experienced this?
b.t.w. this is a 2009 690 with 72000km on the clock.
