I have a honda 185s and I put new valves in it and they make alot of clicking noise. I am just wondering how to fix this or is this normal for new valves. thanks.

not change valves just adjust them.you have two round ports on top of the motor,front and back.unscrew those and youll see a double nut situation on the top of the valves.youll need a feeler gauge and alot of patients.check a manual for the correct settings

Change them, or adjust them? They have adjusters on the rocker arms. They are accessed through the round plugs on the valve cover. You turn the engine until the cam is on the heel of the circle, and the gap is fully open. You adjust them down to the proper gap (.003" on a 200x).
