They don't sound horrible to me, but it takes less than two beers and a ten dollar gasket to check them.

Probably worth checking. They sound a little noisy.And the sound seemed to be changing a little which might indicate an oiling tube problem or a follower that's rotating (normal) but has some wear (not normal). Take the cover off and check the lash and the cam lobes and the oiling tube and the followers...

Or an exhaust leak. In any case adjust your valves at every other oil change, that's what I always did on my 2.0 cars.

They do sound a noisy..but cell phone recordings are shit and you cant really tell.
This is recorded with my iphone...you can hear the engine at the end of the video...mine is not so noisy...so check and adjust your valve cleareances.
