How can I Make my engine valve noise go away?
Step 1. Check the oil level in the engine; a level that’s either too low or too high can cause valve noise. If either condition exists, take measures to correct it. If the oil is dirty, it can also cause valve sticking and cam lobe scoring. Change oil and filter immediately and see if the noise goes away. Observe oil and filter change intervals.
