Make sure the engine is cold - leave it overnight before attempting. :)

To open the various valves, remove the coil pack and spark plugs, jack the front of the car up and pop it in 3rd gear. Then simply turn a front wheel until the right valve is open. If memory serves me right, cylinder 1 is at the transmission side of the engine.

When I took it to garage, I got told they were hydraulic.

[darkslag72]

yer i thought it was only the 16valvers

Yeah, vtr's have adjustable valve clearances which will quieten down the tapping noise. vts's have hydraulic lifters, no adjustments are possible with them.
