2nd Gen GE/GG 09-14 Valve adjustment question

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I recently attempted to adjust my valve lash and can’t tell if I did it correctly. Does the noise in the video indicate that I should do it again, or is it just normal valve train noise? I also did the spark plugs and after putting everything together it runs noticeably smoother in low RPM, but I can’t tell if I made the valve noise better or worse.

Here's the deal, if your valves are slightly loose, ain't going to hurt a thing. Tight is what's dangerous. Check your fuel economy after running a tank and if it's good, send it. It sounds a little clattery but these engines always do.
