It goes like this:
tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap ......
Its really hard to discern from that sweet sweet cummins sound. Adjust your valves and dont worry about the sounds! Enjoy!

just adjusted my vavles last night, I don't think they had been done for a long time since they were all at least .002 loose. It really quieted her up at idle, and while coasting like wanna said. Its not hard, give it a shot.

I heard mine when i would accelerate and let off the throttle and you can deffinatly hear it, you will hear the noise if you pay good attention to it, I adjusted my valves and there is no more ticking, It is a simple task that don't cost anything any only takes about 20 min
