I adusted my 1.7's valves for the first time and it sounds like two skeletons humping on a tin roof. It runs but major loss of power what are the correct settings for a 1.7 and will it hurt to drive it a few miles to a mechanic who knows what there doing?

I would say the most common mistake is a gap that is too large (no wise ass comments, please). I had a guy tell me once that you need to tighten them enough for the feeler gauge to hang by the adjustment screw without falling out. Just enough that you can pull it out after you lock down the nut.
