Do I need a valve adjustment?

[Guest]

Hey everyone. I already did a valve adjustment, but I easily could have made a mistake. Linking a video where you can hear what's going on. Seeing as it's a 16v motor, I don't know if a bit of valve noise is normal or not.
Thanks!

Exhaust is a bit overwhelming, but I tried as best as I could to get a good sound recording from the valves.

Sounds normal to me but honestly the video could be hiding what your hearing. But I will say that a quiet engine is one where the valve clearance is to little or none existant. I've found that properly adjusted valves will make some noise. If it's really loud then it might be worth getting back in there to measure again.

Obviously hard to tell from a short video and not in person but don't hear anything to worry about.

for the minimal cost of a self check why ask?
the out of spec manifests in power loss
regardless is super easy to check not so easy to adjust but knowing it needs doing is freeing
