why is it everyone reads this and no one responds? well anyway i was racing sum mexicans in a honda civic and my valve started tapping at the end of the race i took it home and parked it in the garrage my grandad said to take the valve covers off and wipe around the base of the valves because it might be a piece of carbon stuck at the seat of the valve would that work or not? i hope this isn't an expensive fix

PS: i killed the mexicans in the civic :-) that's what i'm building my car for
