Default Valve Tapping or Ticking ?

My friend has a stock 96 Accord LX and it seems like he needs to get his valves adjusted because the area around the head seems to be very loud.

He wanted me to ask: What is the harm if he doesn't get it done?

Manufactures report longer and longer intervals as a sales gimmick, the less maintenance you have to do, the cheaper it is to maintain your vehicle on a yearly basis, take care of your engine and it will take care of you.</TD></TR></TABLE>
