Just bought the 95, it has a slight ticking sound and low oil pressure. Upon looking at the motor, one valve cover appears to have been removed and not tightened down properly. I think someone may have tried to adjust the valves and not have them adjusted properly. What should they be adjusted to?
The valve clearance is 0.009"-0.12" for intake valves
0.11"-0.15" for the exhaust valves
The adjustments are made using different thickness shims below each cam lobe, special tools are needed.
The ticking noise can also be caused by a broken valve spring. These engines usually have oil pressure of about 10-20 psi at idle.

You have to remove the spark plugs cables and remove the four nuts that you see when the cables are removed.
When the four nuts are removed, simply raise the valuve cover. When replacing the gasket, make sure you get the gromets as well. Those sometimes get worn or crack since they are more exposed than the value cover gasket. Make sure that you clean the cover from oil and replace the gasket with no use of silicon.
Good Luck.

THIS is normal on a lot of import engines. you have a pcv valve that pulls vacuum on engine to **** out gases. when you remove the cap it is like a vacuum leak. if engine runs fine otherwise it is normal.

Those valves should be basically self adjusting by way of the hydraulic lifters

depending on what engine, you may have adjustible lifters. aIf it doesn't you may have a lifter bleeding down. you may want to try a bottle of lucas additive your next oil chang.

I just gave someone advice on this due to having a similar issue myself, so I will recommend the same especially since no warning lights came on because it's always a good idea to check the simplest things first as so often we spend all kinds of time and money and it turns out to be the simplest thing that probably didn't need to cost anything at all... For me it turned out to be the negative battery cable clamp had fallen off which allowed it to get too close to the fan blades and was hitting it... That cut into the battery cable and caused me some electrical issues, it was a simple thing that ended up costing me just over $100 in replacement parts... It's best to check for any cables, wires or hoses that may move around enough to get anywhere near the fan blades... The 'ticking noise' in my car sped up as the RPMs did as well so I hope this is all it is for you too... Best of luck!
