The prepositional phrase "in New York harbor" is an adverb, and says "where" the statue stands.
(modifies the verb)
It can be a bit difficult because if instead you have "a statue in New York harbor" then the phrase acts as an adjective explaining "which statue" you are talking about.

Today can be an adverb, and adjective, and much more rarely a noun. As an adverb it means either "on this present day" or "at this present time".
For example:
I will go to work today.
The verb is 'go'. 'Today' is modifying the verb 'go' by saying 'when' making 'today' an adverb.
'Today' is also used informally as an adjective when it means "of the present era, up-to-date".
He was a part of the today generation.*
* The use here is very close to the existing possessive noun today's which would fill the same role. It seems a colloquial form of the true adjective "modern."

The word "didn't" is not a pronoun.

Ms. Jones didn't like the idea.
A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence. Example: Ms. Jones didn't like the idea. She said "no". (the pronoun 'she' takes the place of the noun 'Ms. Jones' in the second sentence)

How did TWA Flight 800 explode?
TWA Flight 800 Date: July 17 , 1996 Type: mid-air explosion Site: Atlantic Ocean near Long Island Fatalities: 230 Injuries: 0 Aircraft type: Boeing 747-131 Operator: Trans World Airlines Tail number: N93119 Passengers: 212 Crew: 18 Survivors: 0 On July 17, 1996, TWA Flight 800, a Boeing 747 bound for Paris, exploded shortly after takeoff from New York's Long Island, killing all 230 people on board. The National Transportation Safety Board has yet to determine the exact cause of the crash, but last fall it issued an "airworthiness directive" requiring the immediate inspection of the wiring of older 747s. In April, it recommended further inspections and design changes in the wiring of 747s and in Boeing 707s and C-130 transport planes, as well. In May, mechanics discovered a fuel leak in a Boeing 737-200 that they believed was caused by the kind of electrical arcing suspected of causing the TWA explosion. As a result, the Federal Aviation Administration added Boeing 737s to the list, ordering that they be inspected within a week. The agency gave the operators of Boeing 747s and 767s 60 days to make similar inspections. While the NTSB is not expected to issue a final report for some time, its investigators reportedly believe that the same kind of arcing from the wiring in the center fuel tank of TWA Flight 800 sparked the explosion that brought the plane down. There are many possible answers, but the reason for the explosion is still widely debated to this day.

Is whose an adverb or adjective?
The word 'whose' is both an adjective and a pronoun.
The adjective 'whose' is an interrogative adjective, a word that introduces a question.
The pronoun 'whose' is an interrogative pronoun and a relative pronoun.
The interrogative pronoun also introduces a question.
The distinction between the interrogative adjective and the interrogative pronoun is that the interrogative adjective is placed before a noun to describe that noun. The interrogative pronoun takes the place of a noun.
Examples:
Whose car is in the driveway? (adjective, describes the noun 'car')
Whose is the car in the driveway? (pronoun, takes the place of the noun that answers the question)
The relative pronoun 'whose' introduces a relative clause, a group of words that gives information about its antecedent.
Example: The person whose car is in the driveway is my brother.

How to adjust valves 1990 Nissan truck KA24E?
Not sure if this helps but I have a 95 Nissan pickup ka24e which requires no adjustments (self-adjusting). Check the sticker on your hood/rad support/firewall for lifter adjustment information. If it supplies a measurement #.## then you get some feeler gauges, pop the valve cover, loosing the bolt with a boxend wrench, turn the stud with a flathead until the clearance is set (with the feeler gauge) and tighten the bolt, move on to the next one. I believe you need to manually crank the engine so that you adjust on the low part of the lobe.
