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:

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