Hi, I was trying to find out where a sudden engine tapping was coming from on my V-6 '89 Ranger. Someone suggested it might be a broken valve spring. I pulled off the cover and springs looked good. I misread my Haynes book and thought I had adjustable valves, so started to set them to the 2.8 directions. Only worked on cyl #5 as I realized something was wrong, finding out that I had the hydraulic valves. I was able to turn the two adjust bolts back to about where they were. Since the valves are self adjusting, does anyone know if I might be ok?
