Like I said, it sounds just a smidgeon on the high side, but sounds like just 'bout every other 22re I've heard. Sounds pretty good, tho.........could just be me tho....

ADJUST THOSE VALVES!!!
Dont worry though. The valves on my '93 were worse sounding than that, even after adjusting them 4 or 5 times. The idle might be a little too high. What is it set at right now?

Specified idle should be about 750-800. Can you not get it lower or something?
I drove my '93 for 2 years with an idle of 1000-1100..then I found yotatech

wow, yeah sounds like the valves are still not adjusted right; have you adjusted them warm?
it's hard to tell idle speed by sound; I'd get a cheapo tach so that you can be certain; or I've seen some nice timing lights that have the function too
oh yeah, holy HELL that motor's clean looks nice

Well the high idle is normal if its cold. Mine would idle at 2400 rpm when it was -40F on start-up. The low idle you can adjust to 750-800 rpm very easily. You just need a flat-head screwdriver. What engine do you have?

yeah man thats completely normal. the idle is controlled by the temperature of the coolant. It idles higherr when its cold to warm the engine up faster. Like I said in my previous post, when it was -40F here, my idle was around 2400rpm until the engine warmed up.
