adjusting my valves
It's fairly easy, it's just time consuming. Here's the DIY: http://www.team-integra.net/sections...?ArticleID=485
I would suggest getting this tool: http://www.amazon.com/Alltrade-64882.../dp/B0002Q8TU0
It's well worth the $12 bucks and will save you a lot of tedious problem of tightening and measuring over and over.

"He said you can hear it doing something."
That's pretty vague, do you hear a ticking that creshendos with the engine when you rev it? If so, it sounds like loose valves. Just check the valves and if they are not in spec. You'll need to adjust them on both cams.
I'm thinking your gas millage has to do with something else, when's the last time you've done a major tune-up?

Never I just bout the car 2 months ago nd I don't here a ticking noise but my car drops to 200 rpms after a few minutes. Wat do U recommed I do to get my gas mileage up 2 about 30 mpg I just change all my gaskets and belts 2 weeks ago
Gasket and belts aren't going to affect your gas milliage.
Try doing a basic tune-up: Spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, ignition rotor, fuel filter, pcv valve, air filter and oil change. Also make sure your check engine light is off or at least functioning.
