Default K24 Valve Adjustment

So I adjusted my valves, some exhaust valves were on the tight side so I put everything a little on the loose side. There is definitely more valvetrain noise, is this a healthy sound?

Yes I'll be going back in there later on. Im doing this in -10C weather so going on the loose side may not have been a good idea since everything is so cold. I will put everything to the minimum spec this time

Sounds solid to me. I don't hear any valves that are crazy loud.

Readjusted the valves today, I did have them a bit too loose. Got them to 0.009 Intake and 0.012 Exhaust

First cold start after second adjustment:




After driving it and fully warmed it, its much quieter and ready for another 200k
