Im hearing a light clicking or clacking noise. My engine is new.Is this normal with this OHV engine? Do you think the valves could be loose out the box and need adjusting? Thanks
 
Totally normal. Change it more often during break-in. It's filling with all the metal being worn off the lifters and rings as they seat.
Clicking is most likely valves. They should be checked and adjusted to be sure clearances are correct. Easy to do.

Thanks for the reply. Your reply is kind of what I was thinking. Just want to be sure. Yea, I'll change that oil a few times till it clears up.
