warped neck- truss rod adjustments. if this is alien to you, chances are, sending it to a tech would be a wiser discourse.
the neck tilt issue depends on how the guitar performs with strings on. it's necessary only when the action at the upper frets are excessively high while at the lower frets, the action is low. a wedge/ shim is then necessary at the body-neck pocket. again if this sounds alien, best refered to a tech...

in simple term, the rod is to counter the pull of the string tension in relativity to the neck. Balancing work
For more correct and by reputable site. Google for "thrust rod function" etc

the function of the truss rod is to cure neck warp, but not severe ones & it has its limitation until the 12th fret or thereabouts. it won't cure upper fret neck warp which does occur but not a common problem.
when you adjust the trussrod, you are actually bending the rod inside the neck, this will in turn affect the wood. do not expect immediate results though.

yah its not rocket science.. the basics of it is, that the truss rod is this rod inside your neck. You can tighten it or loosen it to make it more convex or concave. You need to let it sit for a while because the wood in the neck will take time to settle.
If you still have problems with neck relief even after you get pro help from a good tech, then i'd suggest you ditch the neck (if its a bolt-on) and just buy a new one from usacustomguitars or warmoth. I think one of the shops in peninsula stocks warmoths, but do know what you're paying for. Its pretty hit and miss, and necks do play a large part in the tone equation. Case in point. I changed a neck cos of a bad warping problem. I got a much smoother playing neck, with very good relief. But the neck was a lot brighter (still getting used to it). Go experiment first, you'll have fun, i'm sure...
