At idle... and while driving... there's a clicking-ticking noise coming from the valve cover areas. It's more noticeable than it should be. I (assume) the noise has something to do with the valves. Is there something I can adjust? Does this engine have adjustable valves? Does it use pushrods? Use hydraulic lifters? What do I need to know to adjust it? Please advise. Thanks.
