so today was the first day I decided to take my fastback out for a long drive. (25 miles ha)

when i started it after dinner it revved out until i killed it, realized there was slack in the throttle cable so i went and tugged on it and then i waited a few minutes before i started it again and this is what it sounds like.

loud ticking coming from the one and two side. hopefully i can just readjust the valves and be okay?

what are some bad signs that i may have done more damage?

no smoke or anything, ran seemingly fine just ticking louder than before.

adjust your valves, check that nothing is broken in there (clips, wawy washers, valve springs...) and then see how it sounds then
