adjust it, there is a how to on this site.

 

I have searched for "how to" "ticking" "how-to" "ticking" etc...

And searched for valves and lifters and I could not find it if you'd please enlighten me.

btw I am not entirely sure the sound I am hearing is abnormal - I am going to take some video of the sound (no voice recorder, but I have a camcorder) and put it on putfile. I'll link it shortly (charging cam LOL)

This is what it sounds like at idle ALL THE TIME (in this vid, I had just driven 30 miles and shut it down to take the vid)

sounds normal to me. they will click no matter what, but when it sounds like its about to pop through the valve cover, get it checked out.

 

Ok... I have noticed that sometimes it is louder than others, that was particularly loud in the vid due to it reflecting off of the car next to me, if I am not parked right next to something I have to listen closely or get out and go up to the front of the car to hear it.

I just wanted to make sure that *some* ticking is normal and that it's not supposed to be stealthily silent =)
