Got a little engine noise, tech help needed
Alright so when I accelerate then let off the throttle there seems to be a fluttering tick noise coming from my cylinders. I am hoping the valves just need to be adjusted or something. They were last done at 12k, i am at 17.5k now. Will they get out of adjustment that quick? Thanks for the help.

They're supposed to be adjusted every 6k, so I'd say see what it's like after the upcoming service.

Yeah, I'd say try the valve adjustment first -- I've had times where they were clacking right at the 6k mark and got worse until I did the joerb.
