valves are easy to adjust, might also be an exhaust leak.

how old are your o ring seals? many ppl dont know this, but they are supposed to be soft and rubbery. they absorb the sound of the pintle opening and closing. when they get old and hard, it doesnt absorb the sound and you will hear the injectors "clicking". just another possibility. if adjusting your valves doesnt solve it, id try that or an exhaust leak next.

well i just put new injectors and o-rings. and another thing is that i got in a accident so there is no stickers to tell me anything about the valve adjustment. can someone tell me how to adjust it.. well thanks guys
