Pop off the valve cover and look at them. it's not very hard at all. You probably don't need to clean them though.

i have 97 honda accord. 4cyl. is the trim level found on label underneith hood of car(specifications). im not trying to sound ignorant, just am new to this topic. i already have valve cover removed. i found some oil deposits which i removed. the only reason i address this topic b/c my engine has an audible tap sound. thanks for guiding me. i will look into trim level.

Honda valve adjustments can be very touchy, a little loose and you get the sewing machine syndrome, a little tight and you loose all kinds of HP. Pick up a mechanics stethoscope at Sears and do some listening, you should be able to tell which valve is tapping the most.
