My cars motor has started clanging its not really bad except for when Im pulling a hill. I was told that it may stop if I got them adjusted and wanted to know if that will work. Someone esle told me that I may need a new head, if so how much would either of those repairs cost me?

    If the valves have not been adjusted n the last 15k, then they need adjustment. Then go from there. It may also be pinging, if the EGR system is not working correctly.

    see this article I wrote about pinging/engine knock

    Thank you we will give the adjustment a try, then I will check the EGR system.
