1998 Chevy Tahoe LT, 130,000 miles.
When accelerating, the engine valves clatter.
Aren't they self-adjusting? How do I fix this?
Thanks,
Greg

if its the valves then remove the covers and tighten them. its more likely the lifters, drain the oil and replace it with hydrolic fluid, let it run for a few minutes the empty it and replace the oil. u should probably let a shop do this for you.
