just wondering if valves could be bent or just need adjustment? the oil im using currently is mobil 1 10w30 not sure if that matters btw...

 

Just needs adjustment I think.

 

Check the valves and adjust if necesarry, these motors also naturally have some chatter to them. As far as oil, well that is a whole different topic, I would always use manufacturers recommended weight which is 5w-30 or something of a wider viscosity range for best lubrication and protection.

 

I thought that noise was a tell-tale sign of an auto-tensioner going bad. If you had a bent valve it probably wouldn't be running.

 

Spin your crank with a wrench, See if there is any "tight" spots where the valve might be touching the piston

 

valve adjustment. When adjusting your valves make sure your engine is cold or air temp. use a feeler gauge and specs for your model.
