Anybody in the So. Cal 626 area know how to do valve adjustments? I think I need a valve adjustment and I'm afraid to drive it to the shop by the way it sounds so I'd rather have someone come down to my house. I've heard that its fairly easy and most mechanics should know how to do it. If anybody in So. Cal is willing to help me out, please let me know ASAP. Will pay of course. BTW, the motor setup is a B20VTEC with a GSR head w/ Skunk2 valvetrain.

Thanks

EDIT: Checked it out and doesn't look like a valve problem, so I still have yet to figure whats actually going on. Basically heres the situation: I start the car and just at idle theres a noise going on that basically sounds like marbles circulating. Haven't driven on it yet, just let it idle. Removed the valve cover and everything seems perfect, no signs of wear or anything. Hopefully I can find someone to help me figure it out soon

EDIT AGAIN: Well checked it out again today with another H-T user and it is definite that it is a spun rod bearing(s) Looks like I got sold a longblock with a spun rod bearing(s), which was definitely not mentioned during the sale.
