Can the intake and exhaust valves for the 3.2L
V/6 be adjusted and if so, "how"

Thank you: Ron:

This engine has hydrolic lifters and no valve adjustment can be made. Thanks.

Are you telling me that I can't even shim to take out excessive gap between cam lobe and valve bucket.

That is correct, they are not made to be adjusted.

You may have excessive sediment in the oil and that may be causing the valve train noise. Frequent oil changes seem to help.
