I got to ride my Seca today!
Its the first time since I brought it home and joined up on this forum.

Its all back together and running around town. I synched the carb, turned the pilot screws in a bit and went for a ride.

There is a tap.
I noticed it when I brought it home, though it would be a valve adjustment but I did that and its still tapping
It sounds like intake valve on #1 to me BUT I've also heard ya'll say that the top end is just noisy on secas.

Can you guys have a listen and tell me if you think its normal, or something like a bent valve?

A skipped/broken cam chain or tensioner would explain the destroyed cam chain guide and a bent valve is there is one...

I don't have a youtube,but I've got a video up on my flickr:
