    Clicking noise

    Found out the pick up coil is the same. In fact, I found out the cylinder head, camshaft, valves, and pistons are the same in the 750 and 700.

    head swap?

    Thanks. The gasket is the same so I was hoping the head was the same. It's likely that the valves or timing are different.
