To solve the quadratic equation \( x^2 - 16x - 13 = 4 \) by completing the square, we first rearrange the equation:

\[ x^2 - 16x - 13 - 4 = 0 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ x^2 - 16x - 17 = 0 \]

Next, we can isolate the quadratic and linear terms:

\[ x^2 - 16x = 17 \]

Now, to complete the square, we need to take the coefficient of \( x \) (which is \(-16\)), divide it by \(2\) and square it:

\[ \left(\frac{-16}{2}\right)^2 = 8^2 = 64 \]

We then add \(64\) to both sides of the equation:

\[ x^2 - 16x + 64 = 17 + 64 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ (x - 8)^2 = 81 \]

Now, we take the square root of both sides:

\[ x - 8 = \pm 9 \]

This gives us two equations to solve for \(x\):

  1. \(x - 8 = 9\)
  2. \(x - 8 = -9\)

Solving each equation:

  1. \(x = 9 + 8 = 17\)
  2. \(x = -9 + 8 = -1\)

Thus, the two values that solve the equation are:

\[ \boxed{17} \quad \text{and} \quad \boxed{-1} \]
