Good that you are hesitant.  The reason the valves clatter is because they
need to be adjusted.  If you are mechanically minded, it is easy to do.  You
will also probably improve the performance of the engine, since it is not
operating correctly now.  If the adjustment doesn't work, it is a problem
that will probably require more work, and Liquid Wrench will just mask it.

The only time I would dump anything like Liquid Wrench into my crankcase is
if I only wanted the engine for a short while, and was going to subsequently
junk it. (Or if I wanted to sell a lemon :-))
