I just recently installed a polini contessa in my dd50 and it started making a clicking noise from the engine area. Has anyone come across this problem before?

Yeah bummers! Got around 200+ miles on the bore then clicking started. Just trying to find out if it could be the rings or something really serious. Runs great except for the clicking.

I took the head and cylinder off and everything looks good. Piston looks to be in really good shape too.

That is the next thing I was planning to do. I'll also put in a new wrist pin bearing just to see if that helps. Thanks for the reply!
