good numbers, you just need to get a valve adjustment done and that should fix it

spread 70-50 is no good either maybe check your valve lash.

you think so, could there still be a possibility of a bent valve or is a lash adjustment all i really need? im debating on wether to take the head off and just replace a valve or go thru with the adjustment. Im hoping ot have this car running by this Sat

might as well try the easy one first and do a valve lash adjustment, it only takes 10 minutes to do, it might just fix it

yeah, those numbers are fine; nothing to worry about. A valve adjustment will certainly help, but it's nothing urgent.

Is there a how to available on adjusting the valves?

I know there is - I saw it a little while ago, but I forgot where. A few minutes of searching will probably get you something.

thanks, I was going to do it today but i got caught up at the dealership(even my co-workers said valve lash adjust too) so i am going to do it tomorrow and hopefully it works, thanks for all the help.

and the clicking sound is really really loud, when it is at 1k its ok but when ig et to around 3k-4k its horrible and when i let off the gas and depress teh clutch it goes away then comes back at idle
