Turbo E30 Idling After Valve Adjustment

Following the previous driveway videos, the valves were adjusted to 0.25mm valve clearance between the bottom of the eccentrics and the tops of the valve spring retainers. The idle was also adjusted from 1800 RPM to down to 1200 to 900 RPM. There are still some very strange mechanical sounds.
