Motor was making a ticking sound, adjusted the valves.
Motor was silky smooth quite afterwards.
Noise returned shortly after.. figured it was normal top end sounds.
-IGNORED IT ALL SUMMER-
Noise became louder and more prominent so decided to check them again.
This is what I saw on the intake valve adjustment.
Good time for a head and top-end job, and fix that leaky base gasket
~$350 fix
Anyone think I can get away with a new rocker arm adjustment screw for a few more miles? Or will I risk thrashing the top-end with metal pieces?
