Dolby109 is on a distinguished road
So if this is a serious post...what exactly makes you think that the "valves need tightening"?

Assuming the KA (which I've never had apart) is like an SR, the cam sits directly on the rocker arms which push directly on the vales. The only thing that gives is the lifters at the other end of the rocker arm...there really is no adjustment.

If you are hearing knocking it is probably something else. If its got rod knock and the seller told you the valves needed to be tightened you should take it back.
