every other oil change!! lol.. i concur, kohburn..
wow.
yup.. 94... chances are you're in need of an adjustment.. it certainly wouldn't hurt to pop the top and feeler gauge the valve lobes out to ensure this is the source of your noise.
is that baby shim-under-bucket? i'm too tired to look it up... lol.. at first assumption and guess, i'd say yes, but i'm not too sure..
if it has an actual rocker assembly, the adjustment is CAKE on that... but like i said, assuming the general japanese mechanism of this kind has a shim-under-bucket valve configuration, you may just have to bite the bullet and get a shim pack. still an easy job, regardless..

Yeah, from what I can tell in the service manual, the hardest part of the job will be removing the valve cover. They're saying the radiator will have to come out, but I'd love to fine a way to work around that.
