B18b1 ticking
I have a 96 Acura Integra with a b18b1 LS and I started to hear a ticking noise a few days ago. It sounds like its coming from around the timing belt area. Its not very loud, only noticable when im idling. It does get faster when i accelerate but not louder. Im not having any idling issues and my car performs like normal. Does anyone have any idea what it could be?

That's what I thought but wasn't 100%. And I didn't see the integra forum at first so I went with the next best thing. Sorry.

Re: B18b1 ticking
Update, was driving girlfriend to her class and went to show a friend the ticking. Popped the hood and started the car and there was no ticking. Got all the way home with no ticking and was really confused about the whole thing. Started the car later to go fishing and still no ticking, got to the gas station and heard it again. Kept clicking from the gas station to the fishing spot, then from there to a red light and didn't hear the ticking anymore. When I got home it was ticking again, thoughts?

Is it a rapid ticking? It might just be the injectors your hearing. I would still adjust the valve lash if you haven't done that recently and see if the noise is still there after.

I will still do the valve lash but I wouldnt say its a rapid ticking. When I'm idling it ticks with the lobe of the motor and speeds up when I accelerate but doesn't get louder like when I'm driving I cant hear it at all. My buddy said it could be a belt?

Re: B18b1 ticking
Belts dont tend to tick, when they get worn they usually just squeal or break. After you do the adjustment try to get a recording of the ticking if it doesn't go away.

Re: B18b1 ticking
i have a video of it now, and also i think i found the problem. While checking under the hood again i hit the throttle and saw some exhaust escape from the header near the head on the side where i was hearing ticking, going to replace the gasket and see if that works. Still going to do the valve adjustment just not right away i dont have the time this week. Will update when gasket is changed. I'll post the video if i can ever figure out how.

Replaced the gasket and fixed the exhaust leak but it still ticks, could it be the air compressor? Its coming from the lower side of the engine around the belts and ****. I've read other threads on here saying it ticks when its about to go out but still not sure.
