It most likely won't fix the "noise". Our cars have a characteristic tap,tap,tap sound that some people claim is a noisy valve train. Others claim it's the injectors (which I agree with).

At any rate, it's unlikely that your valves have loosened enough to cause noise.

I did adjust my valves at 106K when I changed my TB. It didn't change a thing as far as I can tell. FYI, my intake valves were all loose and exhaust valves were all tight. Every single valve was at 0.010" or about 0.001" out of spec.

There are no special tools required. You do have to remove the intake manifold and will need new gaskets for it along with new VC gaskets. I also bought new spark plug gaskets, but did not use them as the old gaskets were in pristine condition.
