    that seems tight I would've said 8 and 10, It probably says in the car manual. but that may not be the source of your ticking

    he did, then i accidentally used my remote start in 1rst gear, didnt know the guy put it in first gear when he parked it, after that my valves start ticking again and leaking power-steering fluid somewhere...

    hrmmm than i should use the 92-93 specs??????????????
    The 90-91 should be .006-.007 inches intake and .007-.008 inches exhaust
    The 92-93 should be .003-.005 inches intake and .006-.008 inches exhaust.

    4 and 7 is fine ........ 3 and 6 is ok.

    I run mine alittle tighter than normal because i like the valves to open alittle faster for more power but what do I know I never built a engine in my life
