probably been posted before but i couldnt find it. i have a minor engine knock (nothing serious and the noise cant really be heard outside of the car.) when my car is cold and in idle and also at lower rpms.
ive had this for a while and im guessing its normal for our engines but if it isnt feel free to post some possible problems. |

Valve shimes are adjustable where the top of the valve stem meets the rocker arm. As an engine wears, the tolerence between the valve train start to grow and loosen. So adjusting the valve shims is a way to help bring the tolerence back to specs.
I would personally let a dealer ship do this, because it requires you to use a feeler gage. It require experience to know how much adjustment is right. |
