your auto parts store has a fluid you can put in with your gas to stop valve noise. Just make sure it is the correct fluid, there are several out there on the market. That's a first good and inexpensive step. Depending on the condition of your vehicle, problems like these often bring one to consider even attempting to pay someone to repair valve noises because it can get expensive and you have an old vehicle. Good luck.

you need a set of feeler gauges. you have to find out if you have flat tappet or shim under bucket. you have to set them at the same tolerance of intake .10mm or.004. exhaust .15mm or .006. how you adjust them is the only difference. check them both while cold. check both at top dead center. with flat tappet, check your gap, if it is greater than said tolerance, loosen the lock nut on the tappet itself and adjust it until there is resistance, do not over tighten, you don' want the feeler gauge to be stuck, but with some resistance. same with the intake. if you you have shim under bucket the cam's will be on top of the valves, check your gap between the cam and the valve bucket, if it is loose you must remove the cam retainers, the cam chain. when you get the cam out, check the number in the shim, under the bucket, yu have to change the number based on the gap, if too loose then the number must go up, if too tight the number goes down, don't go too far with the numbers as you have to recheck the gap after you have replaced the cam and cam chain, it's alot of work to do more than once, so try to be as close as possible. if you have trouble finding top dead center by the flywheel indicator. with shim under bucket, you can look at the cam gears, there are two marks on each cam. intake there will be a mark up, and one at the back of the cylinder. on exhaust there will be a mark up, and one to the front of the cylinder. with flat tappet, you have to use the cam gear indicator, or the flywheel with the mark of T. if you are out 180 degrees all your valves will be too tight. rotate the crank around 180 degrees and you should be there. good luck, hope it helps.
