How do you know it is the valves? I am also trying to troubleshoot a noise. Just wanted to see if it is similar. My 1996 Sephia makes noise that comes from the front of the car after accelerating to 35MPH and above. Sound sort of like a knocking or when a tire is loose. When you let off the gas the noise stops. It also gets louder the faster you go. Any ideas? Thank You.

Will make a pinging sound when engine is under a load. Usally isn't constant, only heard under certain conditions.

Sounds like your problem is completely different.

Check your MAF...... and clean it lightly with a Q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol.......

what happens is that maf gets contaminated and will give the computer a wrong reading of the wrong amont of air the engine is sucking in....causing the wrong timing advance and fuel mixture..... causing it to spark knock.... i think that is what you are describing.......if not check your knock sensor..
