I had a reallly loud ticking coming from the valve covers so i wanted to adjust the valve lash ( i have 1.6 adjustable RR) Turns out he didnt have a Fu***** clue wut he was doin cuz now i got some bent valves.

#1 reason why i work on my own vehicles and only help people out if i have done it to mine first. always sucks to screw sombody elses stuff up. did you ever figure out how to do it right, there is a pretty good write up on Crane Cams Website somewhere on how to do it right.
