I'm new to owning a 1G N/T 2.0l Laser.
The car runs great, no hesitation, no stalling, no smoke. But at all rpm's there is a sound coming from the motor, which to me sounds like the valves rattling. I've asked a mechanic, and he said it was completely normal. I asked him if there was a solution and he said no.
what do you guys think. again, the car runs great. just the sound at idle is nerveracking (although it's not very loud, it still bugs me)
any solutions? the car is a 1993 Laser Rs 2.0 Non-Turbo
 
If it is valve lifter noise, try going up a grade in oil viscosity next oil change.
And for reasons not clear to me, DSM motors seem to respond very favorably to Rislone's RESTORE oil treatment.
