Post Valve Adjustment question

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaDw9Zz7OyQ

After adjusting the valves 0.10mm for intake and 0.35mm for exhaust and i developed a ticking noise and a thump in the intake, did i do this right the car runs better off the line and idles smoother.

Whoa that thump sounds like it is coming from the lower crankshaft pulley.

Hey Actros,
I think you meant 0.10 mm & 0.35 mm for your valves !!

I do agree with Adam about the noise you have. Check your front pulley soon.

intake thumping... methinks you got a .10 and .35 reversed...
the intake can burp if the clearance is too tight.
