I know the one sound you can hear an exhaust leak but the " non symmetrical " Ting ----ting ting, I can't seem to figure it out. i had the valve covers off and looked for a broken spring thinking it might be a valve hitting the piston . the boat runs good and doesn't miss or back fire or pop any ideas ?

Is the sound on top of the motor or outside near exhaust? We know it's not low.

Don't think it's a valve hitting a piston .

The internal flaps on my Hardin tips sounded like that even though they're rubber.

If not ^^^ exhaist internal flaps or muffler baffles then pull off rec pump belt and see if it's shot by grabing it's pulley and see if it moves up/down side to side

its in the engine compartment just can't tell where ?

Maybe Some little China men in there clapping to the beat of a real engine. Go USA... Shut the hatch and blow dem nigas out of there. Ha

Use a stethoscope to help you locate noise.

kinda sounds like an exhaust leak.

Fwiw, I pulled my internal flaps out and left the Salisbury flaps on just so that I could relax. It was killing my nerves before I ever left the dock.
