ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

    Valve Tap/Adjustment

    ok today was perfect for valve adjustment, the car was supa cold, and my friend and i did the job.


    now we started it up, and it started to tick, b4 we did it, the car didnt tick on idle.

    when it was cold we tried to put the feeler gauge thru and it wouldnt even slide thru the valve. allllllllllll valves were tight. we loosened them up and redid them all.


    1-what causes valve tap??

    2-i have a6, are the valve specs the same as a1,a4?

    3-even tho we did it rite why would it still tick?





    and last but not least, is there a distinct tone between valve tap and rod knock?

    a good friend of mine said, valv tap ull hear on top of course. but rod will b in pedal

        Oh yeah, I forgot..It is under the hood. Actually the valves were too tight, so we redone them to .010'' and' .012'. Ticking is more louder and now more audible on idle.
