Jurlie, if you go to the bottom of the page showing your photo at imgbb you'll see a tab that says <Embed codes>. Click on it, hover over the bit under <Full Image> which says BBcode and then either select it all or click on the <copy> box at the end of it. Paste the result into your forum post and the image will be displayed on the forum.

Thanks Cormanus for editing and hint.

Sorry for late update...

I've decided not to disassemble what I dodn't touch previously; I've just opened the cylinder head cover yet again, measured valve clearances again, put everything back together, started the engine and... No ticking!
My optimism little bit lowered when I went for ride, as there was subtle ticking during agressive acceleration, and nane otherwise. I still don't understand what is it, but since it became subtle and rare, I decided it shouldn't be anything dangerous. Maybe in 12k, when it will be time for next clearance check, I'll open the PAIR valves compartments for check.

Now feel much more confident in doing mechanical jobs.

Some ticking during hard acceleration is normal. It's the fuel injectors.

Good to hear. Thanks!

Jurly did you ever find that 10mm socket that was missing after the adjustment?

Just kidding but glad it went away, still wondering what it could have been.Huh

Good joke! You made me think for a couple sec if I forgot anything inside. Big Grin

For guys who cannot hear ticking: I forgot to mention, you need to start the engine to hear it.
