Go on youtube, find the videos that show you how to adjust your valves, and do it. you will need a bent neck 12mm, a screwdriver, and a feelergauge. Pop your hood, there should be a sticker that says the valve adjustment tolerances

If you have to buy all tools, maybe 35 bucks at most. Put aside about 2-3 hours to do this if youve never done a valve adjustm,ent.







Or just take your car to a shop and have them do it. My car ticks more as I beat on it, a adjustment cures the ticking.


You could also be low on oil

Well, do realize when you tighten that screw, it can make the adjustment go out a lil again. Recheck your adjustment, in the mean time, check your oil and coolant levels, make sure your sparkplugs are snug, if they are lose, they tick a lil, then they start to sound like a lawnmower when they get really lose.

In the mean time, simply dont beat on it, Id say dont bring it past 3500rpms unless you have too (steep hill, etc...)

Well, you have an open rench with a bent neck? that will allow you to keep the screwdriver in place as you tighten it

hope it works for ya
