just a little update

ordered my expansion valve today. Need to get some gas tomorrow. Gas prices have been going down a little... saw $3.79 today on the way home, pretty good I guess. Car is still making that horrible chattering (valve tick) noise. I'm tired of adjusting them and I don't know whats causing it to get worse. Could it be from all the lucas stop leak crap that I put in thinking it would help quite them? Tomorrow I'm going to try some stuff that is a detergent based additive (not a thickening agent) that says it is specifically designed to quite noisy lifters and valves.
