valve adjustment finished but can hear a ticking sound
finished the valve adjustment and started her up i double and triple checked the valves before putting the covers back on on starting her up and letting her warm up i can hear a ticking sound more so when you listen from underneath i presume this is one of the valves that may have been adjusted a little loose
do i need to sort this out straight away if so i guess illneed new gaskets oil etc whats the consequence of driving with the slight ticking sound im sure it was there before and my 3.2 has it on the passenger side uk spec or is it definitely a loose valve
funny thing is car seems to drive fine sound seems to be coming around the cylinder /lower valves passenger side ie wastegate side

had a general look at the lobes they seemed ok how would i have checked the rocker shafts for tightness and what do tight/loose rocker shafts show it is not very loud but when you are listening out for it it can be heard im sure its coming and going isnt there on overrun and im sure it goes at higher revs wil check again tomorrow
do i also need to get the co adjusted 3.0% should be fine

im going to open it up again and use the method where by you check between the cam lobes using a 0.003 gauge and 0.002 if 0.003 doest fit and 0.002 does then valves are adjusted fine
