my honda knocks more than I knock women
I noticed that my engine has a few knocks...I know it is pretty common and it isn't bad. I was just wondering if in the top end new valves, lifters and rockers will fix the problem.

Is it a knock or a tap. A knocking noise could mean you spun a bearing. A tap means valves need adjusted.

it's probably the valves then. Do you know what tools and how to go about readjusting them would be? Cause I don't really have the greens for ordering new ones. Well I do, but i'm stingy and I like doing things myself.

the valves should be adjust cold every 15K unless V6
You will need: v/c gasket possible grommets ( good idea anyway) feeler guage (metric preferred) Regular Flat blade screw driver Wrench sockets rachects LONG extension to turn the motor over Jack jack stands raise/support front end & remove drive side tire remove valve cover set #1 piston to top-dead-center loosen lock nut, turn screw until slight drag on feeler gauge tighten nut & re-check clearance repeat for #3, #4, & #2 (1-3-4-2) reassemble & your done purchase a helmsmanual step-by-step process for doing that among many other useful things.
