Valve Adjustment Follow Up...
 
I related my first-time experience in a previous thread; it is now about 3 days and 200 miles since and I need some advice.

My valves were not very noisy going in; it had just been 12K since they were done and I was itching to do something besides tune it up. It took me longer than I though (go figure) but all in all was not too bad. The results:

It runs a lot better, and seems to have quieted down with the EXCEPTION of a slight tap from one cylinder. It is no worse than it was; I guess my question is should I go back and re-do them or just wait another 10K? Am I risking some type of damage? And yes, I did re-check them twice before I buttoned her up.

Thoughts?

you can always jack up that side of the car (for minimal oil loss) and check out your adjustment......no need to go through them all it sounds.
i use an automotive stethiscope which really lets you hear what's going on under the valve covers.......$3 at harbor freight :D
