If it is a 603 engine then the valves work on hydraulics lifters and no adjustment is needed. Kind of self adjusted.

Try search for lifter noises. There should be a wealth of info.

ok, I got all the duplicate posts removed, in addition to the answer about the non adjustable valves, it's been found on here, that synthetic oil change can quiet noisy lifters on some of these cars. if that does not work, lifter replacement is often needed.
