After a few drag races, at the end coming down to an idle, my right expansion chamber has a loud tinging.

 

It's never done that before. I tried to isolate the rattling kicker and the brake lever against the lock-up cover.

I'm almost positive it's a ting in that pipe.

It goes away pretty quick so it's hard to distinguish exactly where it's coming from.

 

Any ideas?

The plug looked good and it only does it right after a really hard run.

 

421 Serval, 35 pwk's 155main 48pilot, OG Rockets. The arms on the lock-up have a little side to side play, I thought maybe the noise came from them?

I just don't want to blow it up.

Problem is if it's right on the edge of lean, and it gets wicked up and starts making lots of heat, then you let off, it could be a little bit starved with out the main feeding it.

Are the pipe springs making the sound? Less likely with inframes though. I've had some strange sounds come from the springs on OOFs.

I did bust the upper spring on that side on the first run that I noticed that noise.

So it could have been harmonics from the lonely lower?

For sure.
