I can not find a book on my car anywhere locally and was wondering what the valve clearance should be set at.

The valves on the KA24DE rarely need to be adjusted unless you have done head work or a valve job. They use a lash pad type adjuster and have to be measured and in most cases the pads need to be ordered because they need to be adjusted so little of the time. If you are getting noise from the valve cover area it maybe the timing chain guide,if still on, making noise. When you have the valve cover off remove it. It's between the cams in the frt. Valve clearence warm is int. .012-.015 ex. .013-.016.
