I see... well the car runs well - it's smooth when you accelerate and keep your foot on the pedal, but when it's idling it has a very pronounced 'clanking' or 'slapping' sound that's intermittent... I thought it needed a valve adjustment but that must not be it - what else could it be: rocker arms?! Hope that's not a really bad sign...
