well I noticed I am getting a bit of a tick now in my motor..
it comes and goes on idle so I know its not a major problem...
just wondering if anyone can recommend anything to help this?
or does anyone know the exact parts I would have to change in the head to resolve this?
I know its a common thing with hondas
my motor is 2000 JDM b16a2

thanks

 

Adjust your valve lifter lash

 

Yeah, it could just need a valve adjustment. Mine had a slight tick, I adjusted my valves a couple of weeks ago and now it sounds mint.

 

Or it can be the lost motion assembly.

 

^^ Good point. How loud is the tick?

 

you can hear it in the car when idling...and can someone explain to me how to adjust the valve lifter lash ? its not constant...like sometimes its quiet for a few secs then starts tickin again....

thanks very much I'll give it a shot!

 

no problem. It's pretty easy, just a little time consuming and a little hard on the back.
