my valves are clattering pretty bad. if i adjust them, will it make them stop?

if so, how do i adjust them? simple hand tools?

 

I know this has been covered before. Do a search. All you need is a flat head screwdriver, 10mm wrench, and a set of feeler gauges. It's better to have someone who's done it before show you what the right clearance feels like, or you may end up setting them worse than before you adjusted them.

 

thanks

 

Exactly you dont just pop the hood and do it if you havent before. Buy a Haynes manual. Dont forget about TDC.

 

ive wrenched on a car before... but never messed with valves. and whats TDC?

 

Top Dead Center. Read the manual.

 

i feel so dumb to me. now that i read it i knew. and bdc... blah blah... haha man.

 

Just take your time or it'll sound like ****. The quieter you makes the valves=less power. The louder they are but not clanking= more power. Find a happy medium.

 

how can you tell if there loud without clanking.. i dont get it

 

There is a difference between noisy valves and clanking valves. I think I've just been around too many Hondas.

 

hahahaha. nice man .. nice im also throwing a 1 code and a 16... what could be wrong with the fuel injector system?
