Valve adjustment on my '90??

[vlaar]

From reading, it doesn't seem that there is any way to adjust the valves...correct me if I'm wrong. The lifters were extremely loud when we swapped to a new refurb head. We only had the car running for 30 seconds so I'm assuming that with more time, it will quiet down?? I have a small electrical problem so the car is forced to sit for now. Thanks.

Yes, hydraulic lash adjusters do it themselves. It may take them awhile to completely pump up.

its pretty typical for them to be noisy at first even if everything is OK. I always pump the adjusters up in a tub of oil prior to installation and when everything is together I crank the engine at least a minute (in bursts) with the spark plugs out to get the oil passages primed. Even then they can clatter a minute or two before they settle down.
