Plus, you didn't even answer my question regarding valve adjustments, so you really didn't offer up any valuable information, just a dumb remark. The answer I was looking for from the community is clearly posted in my original post, if you cannot decipher that then

your best bet is to keep trying for warranty if you don't like it.
Hey, isn't that what I said? Go download the service manual like everyone else and read it. Then start turning wrenches; that is if you know what a wrench is.

Ok, this is getting a bit childish. I wasn't looking for a basic answer like "go try for warranty, or "engines tick." My original post asked specifically for technically inclined people if they could answer a valve adjustment question. You never once even said anything pertaining to my question. I got my answer from 1slow.

So, are you now going to tear down your top end seeing you have an answer? You could have found the answer very easy if you had bothered to read the service manual or google. So keep trying the warranty route because your mechanical knowledge is obviously limited to attempt a DIY. Have a nice day!

Dude you need to pay more attention to detail. I never once said I was gonna attempt a valve adjustment myself. I just wanted to know if it would have a chance at fixing the ticking. Btw I am a mechanical engineering major, so you can stop with the half assed attempts of trying to outwit me. Now.. AND have a nice day!
