[ST] re: valve rattle

["john martinez" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In a privious post 

"I am at a loss as to why I have just picked up what sounds like valve lash rattle. 
Yesterday after about 80 mile ride home I noticed a rattle I did not pay it much attention.
Today I go for a short ride no rattle until about 15 miles I figure it is well warmed up by now.."

I did check valve clearence and what I found was not good.
#1 ex .11 ex ok
   in ok  in .06
#2 ex ok  ex ok
   in ok  in ok
#3 ex ok  ex .75
   in ok  in ok
15 to 20 is in spec for ex
and 10 to 15 for intake.
anyone have any idea as to why?? I had the valves adjusted at the 12k service
at that time I was told only one shim was replaced..
Also why would I get noise like the lash was excessive? The cam chain is tight and rails appear to be fine.. At this point I am calling the shop to see what he will do since it has been only about 2k since they checked it..
