Slapping sound on startup

[Loadtoad]

Here is my Himma with 16,195 miles. Recent issue developed with slapping sound when cold. I will be taking it to the dealer this week. For those that have had the head gasket replaced, is this what you heard? The valves are properly adjusted.

Got down close with camera, obvious blown head gasket

It seems silly to give it a "like", but thanks for the video, it's good to know what's wrong if I ever get that noise. Hope you get fixed soon.

No problem Sqeeezzy! I know you have a fleet of the Himmas, what kind of mileage do they have on them now?

Nope, I've only got one, my main everyday fun and shopping transport, 10,000 km on the clock and still good fun.
