Valve adjustment

I've done a search, but can't find anything. I have 1.6 L. My valves are tapping or "valve lash" How to i adjust it to stop the tapping.

I'm already running a pretty thin oil. I'm running 10w30. How will the oil help.

I dont know maybe it wont I know I had it clogged HLA's and I used a thinner oil ran it hard and it stopped after that I went back to the regular oil. my problem was due to lack of an oil change for like 10k miles though

I wouls try using several cans of "BG's 44K" fuel injection cleaner. I bet your valves are carbon-coated and not sealing proeperly.
