valve adjustment? 92 3fe (1 Viewer)

[Forgotten Ways]

Hey guys I am about to start tearing in some things that have needed to get done on my FJ80 (tune-up stuff). While going over things, I was thinking my 3fe sounds a lot like my 7.3 Powerstroke diesel right now. I've just uploaded a video to hear what you guys think. Valve adjustment? It idles fine, but it's SO loud...... I haven't driven it daily for about a year and a half and I honestly can't remember if it always sounded like this.

Thanks Mud!

Needs a valve adjustment.
8th post down explains the way I do it.
Couple tips that I didn’t mention below: break the adjustment nuts loose then re-tighten just a bit before starting your truck and doing the adjustments. Also make sure your AC is off and rpms are as low as possible.

3fe valve adjustment

Getting ready to do my second valve adjustment in a week and want to seek the advice of some mud members, so I don't have to do a third next week. 1991 cruiser. Adjusted valves twice and still has a tick. Not sure exactly why it's reoccurring, but my gut instinct tells me the tension nut is...
