hi how are you guys doing? i have couple of questions.. first i just rebuilt my engine with honed out block,crank bearings, and piston rings. when i down-shift and listen to my engine i hear very light ticking noise it goes away when RPM decreases... i dont know if its piston rings gone bad already or just fuel injectors...? im lil worried.... i put about 350miles on my engine and kept the RPM under 5K.. also one more thing engine seems to bog a lil when its at low RPM GSR bottom B16 head and B16 pistons... and running on B16 ECU... i dont know details... this is my first HONDA.. so i dont know the letters that comes after B16... sorry... should i get a different ECU..? what should i do.. thank you so much for reading this and hope i will get some solutions to my problems... have a great day~

 

rod bearings?

 

could be your timing belt rubbing on the cover.. Seen this problem many times before, could also be a loose bolt or washer on the crank pully or a loose heat shield ec. Let me know how you make out or any further questions

I was thinking timing belt too. Is the ticking coming from inside the block or just something rubbing against something else?

 

Its not coming from outside of a motor... i cant really hear it when its idling... i can hear it clearly when i down shift and bring down the RPM slowly... shh shh shhh shhh shhhh... not exactly a ticking noise... rod bearings are new can it be the problem...? thanks again.

 

sounds like valves to me
that's what my Friends car did he adjusted them and it went away

 

I mentioned rod bearings because you omitted them in your post. I should have known you replaced them as well.

 

yea i should adjust the valves and let you guys know how it turns out... thanks alot for the help guys...

 

WHATS UR COMPRESSION AND SOUNDS LIKE YOU WILL NEED A VALVE JOB SON

 

11.2:1 i believe.... gsr bottom b16 head b16 pistons b16 cams.... poor mans type R setup... valve job? = more money = definitely not a good news... lol hopefully i wont have to change all the valves.... thanks alot guys have a good one.

 

its best to change everything on the valves so but where r u from again??
