Valve Clearance problems?


Recommended Posts

Had the head gasket and cambelt changed last week for the sale of my Glanza. The car fired up first time and ran fine on a test drive however later on it had developed a clatter almost identical to the one in this video :

It doesn't always do it, and only after it's warmed up.

Am I right in thinking it's a lifter/valve clearance? It's coming from the top right of the rocker. (The buckets and shims would of been out for the re-skim)

Obviously I've got the car up forsale but i'd like to try and resolve this.

Any help would be great,

Thanks
