that makes no sense. "but no use to stop valves" -- what are you trying to say here.

 

i think hes talking about valve knocking. use higher octane gas, or adjust yoru vavle back to stock specs. after a while your rocker arm to valve clearence will be off from stock cause the valve chattering, just have them adjusted back to stock

 

Yeah sounds like valve tick, get them adjusted, high octane wont help, I doubt hes getting detonation. Avg cost for valve adjustment at dealership = $70-80

 

not to steal your thread but does anybody know how to do a proper valve adjustment, a few of my friends can adjust valves but im not sure if they are 100% sure on how to do it? just curious

 

get a feeler gauge, and set it to wahtever inche it suppose to be, then loosen the valves and stick the feeler gauge in there, adjust it so the feeler gauge can move around in there not easy but with alittle resistance, then tighten and yoru all good

 

you could try using an oil additive. I've tried BG RF7 (I think) as well as Hyper Lube and it quited the valves down quite a bit. I used these AFTER i had already adjusted my valves so i new they were in spec. You could try using a thicker oil, maybe 20w50. Just a suggestion.
