Default 300EX Sounds

Hi, Since I bought my 300ex, There is a sound coming from my cylinder head. I opened it to adjust the valves and it wasn'T that. The sound was more like something metallic hitting metal. I finnaly found out that I was able to move my Exhaust Rocker left and right but not my intake one. I know it's not normal, but is it dangerous for my engine. How can I fix that? Thanks

Actually,you should be able to move your rocker arms side to side(a certain amount) when the valves are fully closed.If you cant move them,they are adjusted too tight.

Not to be rude,but I cant tell from here if it is ok or not.Is there anybody near you that has mechanical experience that could take a look at it for you?Sometimes these things are hard to diagnose over the internet.
