My engine is making a clicking sound when I rev it, and the general concensus is a floating valve.. Also have a stuck lifter as well. What is going to have to come off in order to get to the valves? Do I have to remove the timing belt? Thanks

Yes, along with your intake manifold, fuel injectors, intake plenum, exhaust manifolds, distributor, cylinder head and valve cover.

It seems that the cold weather has brought a lot of people some valve chatter or claking. I'm hoping that an engine flush may help out, after that it'll be time for the big work. I really don't wanna have to remove everything, I can't really have any down time with my car right now.

That should be fun. Any idea on cost estimates to have a shop do it?

Its not just the cold weather, its been happening for a while.
