First,make sure all the exhaust manifold bolts are tight.

Pick up a manual at your local parts store and follow the valve adjusting procedure in the book. If the lifter (not valve) is still pecking it may just be bad and need to be replaced. Then the intake will need to come off. If you need to do this replace all of them.
