WELL THE VALVES ARE THE ENGINE VALVES ON TOP OF THE PISTONS SOME CARS HAVE 16 SOME 8 ETC DEPENDING ON THE ENGINE
WHEN THEY ARE NOT PROPERLY ADJUSTED /TUNED U CAN HEAR A TICKERING NOISE ON THE BACKGROUND SOMETHING LIKE A SMALL HAMMER HITTING THE ENGINE WALLS CONSTANTLY FROM THE INSIDE

MINE WAS MAKING NO NOISE WHEN IDLE BUT AT 40 - 50 KPH IT WAS REALLY ANNOYING AT CRUSING SPEED I COULD HEAR IT ON THE BACKROUND

IT TAKES 10 MIN TO SORT IT OUT AND IT COST 5 POUNDS TO HAVE THEM TUNED BUT LIKE I SAID BEFORE I AM NOT AN EXPERT
