IS my Engine in danger? or is this not serious?
Ok recently about 2 weeks ago i installed a I/E/H the weather has been a little cold but the install went perfect, but now i've been hearing this knocking sound kinda, as if there was an empty spray can in my engine, it only happens in the cold weather and when the car is at idle, after the car has been on for more than 30 minutes and been driven its fine theres no noise at idle, all my coolant levels are fine, my oil is fine, i bought the car with 27050 miles and now have 29562 im gonna be doing an oil change soon, but im wondering if this problem is more serious? i also drive my car hard comin home at 100+ in the highway.. any ideas?

What grade of fuel are you using? And how often do you drive you car @ 100+ on the highway coming home?

well considering that it only does it when its cold, I still think its your vavles.

yeah if its at idle, you may need to get your valves adjusted at honda or.....my ticks too but nothing from the normal h22. There should always be like a soft clicking from the motor. I think its the injectors clicking on and off....
