Valve adjustment issues
Hi:
I did a valve adjustment last week (my first one) and after I was done, the engine was still ticking pretty loudly. Before I did the valve adjustment I read the bently manual at least twice also I read a bunch of threads about the subject so I felt pretty confident doing it.
Today I decided to give it another try adjusted the valves at .012mm with the engine cold checked every valve twice and when I was done I got the same result.
I got the car about 2 months ago and it had been sitting since. Also I got the car from a guy who didn't know anything about the car, and it also had been sitting for a while with him and since it was such a good deal I didn't mind not having the service records, When I got it I expected the worst , but to my surprise I noticed the head had been rebuilt not long ago it has some metal gaskets not the paper crap that I got, and the water pump and hoses are all new, also the whole suspension is pretty new anyways the car is a 1991 535iA It has 160k and the only problems with it are the brake linnings message and that damn loud ticking. Any ideas on what It could be?
