are the valves on a 95 hydraulic? if not can they be adjusted? i hear a little noise comming from under the valve cover at idle, i've already removed the timming chain guide, so i think if the valves are adjustable that would be a place to start.

i'm having a hard time finding a chiltons manual. i guess i will have to go by a fsm. $$$

I am pretty sure the DOHC's are NOT hydro., they must be adjusted to spec. by hand. We SOHC's luck out here.

The DE does not have hydraulic lifters. To adjust the valve clearance you have to replace shims. They go for about $10 a piece.
