Default engine a bit rougher and noisier

Hey, i have a 94 lx, but lately my car has gotten a bit rougher at idle and noisier. I hear kind of a loud clicking noise from my engine. I was wondering if i need a valve adjustment or something to fix the rougher idle and the noise.

new head gasket? hmmmmm ok. I don't know about that. i would say first get the valve clearance adjusted and the idle speed adusted. The valve clearance adjustment usually runs from about $80-$120 or so..including the replacement of the valve cover gasket.

Do the valves and check the idle. If its still there come back to us.
