well it could be the timing chain. i would start it up and try and find out if its internal or external.

and i did the same thing before. i made a thread to see if anyone had an invincible bike and i said how my cr80 is 6 years old and never had a top end rebuild and still runs like a champ and then the next day it blew up.

i think its time to start paying attention to what he does so you can learn. and just check if the spring is rattling as you ride. if it does then you could try replacing it to see if the sound goes away. but find out if the sound is internal or external.
