Cam chain slap caused by carbs out of balance? Go on explain that one please.
As for the OP, yep that doesn't sound healthy, and I've heard a few rough SV engines in my time. However things can sound a little different over the net so before declaring something terminal lets go through the process; I'd be looking at the condition of the exhaust, debris in the oil, play in the cam chain, condition of the tensioners, cam timing, big end play, etc...
Any update?
