I checked the valves on my 1.3 and all are with in spec, but when freeway driving at a certian rpm they start clacking away as if they are to loose. i'm wondering if its intake or exhaust side that needs to be tighter. anny ideas??
thanks, Jeff

The 1.3 is not the quietest engine on the planet.

Are you adjusting them with a warm or cold engine? There are listings for both and they are different!

Oil viscosity may be breaking down and getting too thin or your oil pressure isn't good after the engine is warm. Need to check that as your oil pump may be getting tired.

oil level is right where it should be, i did adjust the valves when cold, but they were to spec.
