Re: Valve adjustments
No ticking when it's running (tells you they're not too loose), valves all close completely when they're supposed to (tells you they're not too tight)

Re: Valve adjustments
Well, that depends. Is it ticking because you're adjusting them and haven't finished adjusting? Or, did it just start ticking? In which case, you need to find out what's broken, bent or worn-out and repair/replace it.

Re: Valve adjustments
I dnt have any ticking, basically just want to know what the symptoms are since a friend mentioned it but wasnt able to tell me how to determine if an adjustment was in order.
sounds like the problem right there , ya need to be talkin to friends who know about the stuff they mention , instead of that guy .....
