crower cams in turbo h23, lots of rattling.
I have adjustable crower cams in my h23, and I really want to get the valves adjusted because of how loud the rattling is on my car. Since I have a stock drivetrain, I can't really do much else. I was told that if I try to adjust the valves, I will seriously damage my valves. Does this sound like a true statement?

Sounds like a crap statement. Check the valve clearance and if it's not set to spec, then set it right.
I guess if you set the valve lash to some crazy number you could damage the valves, but why would you do that

okay ** UPDATE **
my stock cams were sent off to crower to get adjusted, and that's why I can't adjust the valves, sounds better now lol

wha? valve adjustments are part of routine maintenance. do it every 30000 miles or when ever valves move out of specification. makes a world of difference with fuel economy, burning oil, internal friction etc etc etc. If its a ticking most noticible at idle just do a valve adjustment. (DIY valve adjustment) <run search on it. its pretty simple. it can be done within about 45 minutes after car is jacked and front driver side tire is off.
