I have a 1987 325. Was having problems with excessive valve noise. I adjusted the valves to 10 thousand and still having the loud noise. Is there anything else I can do to correct this problem?

I have a 1987 325 BMW that I just purchased.  There was excessive noise from the valves.  I adjusted the valves to 10thousand hoping this would correct my problem but it didn't.  If there is anything else I can do to correct this problem please let me know.

Hi Ronald815,

The valves may not be the only problem you're having.  Noisy valves can also mean that your lifters are not working properly.  These may need replacing as well.  Depending on your mechanical ability this may not be a job you want to undertake.

Good luck!
