Loud rattling in head after replacing headgasket
Just replaced my head gasket in my b18a1 swapped hatch. I did with with stock gasket and ARP head studs. I adjusted the valves to spec, put it in time, and bolted everything down to spec. Now there is some rattling noise coming from my head. Here is a video. let me know what you think.

pull the valve cover, make sure all the adjustment nuts are tight, and make sure you didnt maybe drop something in there, sounds like misadjusted valves to me

Agreed, sounds like either one rocker arms gap is to big or a loose lock nut on the arm. Go through recheck all the lock nuts and recheck all your clearances

a bent valve wouldn't make that noise would it? My car starts right up after one turn, it has now problems starting.
