I changed the oil out that came with the car, and put in some Castrol GTX 10-30. The weather just hit 70 here, so I figured it was appropriate. I've checked the oil level several times right after a fresh run, and the level is perfect. However, since changing the oil and the weather getting warmer, the engine is making a nice rhythmic ticking at idle. Sounds like valves. It's at 189k and it's just a beater 4cy.
Should I take it in for a valve job, or do it myself? I've only done OHC motors before...the Hanes makes this sound like a cakewalk. No feeler gauges, just simple adjustments.
