M20 Valve Adjustment...
Hi all... About 2 months ago I did a vavle adjustment on my 90 525IA and she sount good. But she has gradually started tapping quite bad, worse then before the adjustment. I've only put about 1500 miles on the car since the adjustment. So today I'm going to tear her down and do it all over again. I'm assuming there wont be any issues with reusing the valve cover gaskit due to it being so new. Now does anybody have any idea what I might of screwed up the first time to make it become worse then what i stared with? Thanks in advance...

Well I decided to let my Indy deal with it this time... It's going in next Friday... He said he will do it for $75.
