When I mentioned tight valves i was referring to improper adjustment, they won't tighten themselves, how ever they will loosen a bit. getting louder when warm the oil loosen a bit giving the effect of slightly louder ticking but it doesn't assume they are correct... feeler gauges will determine that

And, is it also true that if the ticking doesn't get louder as the engine becomes warmer, then chances are everything is OK?
I heard ticking on just about everything I've ever owned, but it's never gotten noticably louder as the engine warmed up.

Easy. DO you have a SERVICE MANUAL? Are you mechanically inclined?

It is one of the more simple things to do. One of these guys will post instructions on how to do it. You will need a feeler gauge and some shims probably.
It will be like a new machine when it's done.

I will need to do mine soon. I'll probably bring mine in though as to not cause any issues with my 4 year warranty. Plus the service manager is a good friend of mine.
