My 1989 ford ranger with a 2.3l jumped timing and blew a coolent hose recently. The coolent damaged a ton of electrical components such as spark plugs and coils. I replaced all 8 spark plugs, plug wires coils, and retimed the engine but now my valve are making a ton of noise. No biggie I though I'll just adjust them. However the 2.3l has hydraulic self adjusting valves so I'm stumped on how to fix this valve clutter problem. Ik I could just put some thicker oil in but the truck is in really good shape and id like to properly fix the problem
