Default valve adjustments and gas mileage

im hearing a slight ticking sound from the valve train when the car is idling so im guessing im in need of a valve adjustment. looking in my haynes repair guide it doest seem so hard. how long would it take to do my self and would it be a wise idea to do myself. also would that effect gas milage?

80 bucks dont seem like too expensive for something that they would be required to lift the valve cover off and do the work inside the engine. but 80 bucks to replace rotors and pads just for labor is ridiculas.

i tried today, but i couldnt get them bolts behind the caliper to come off, they are so rusted up. need an impact tool thingie
