well i have a fully built d16z6 and im running 750cc injectors. also i have a swirl polish 1mm larger intake valves. i hear some kind of tick, i know its not a stock motor, so it shouldn't sound like one. i did a valve adjustments a few time and still have this tick. my car runs fine and last time i did a compression test i got 175 across the board. i currently have 6k miles on it. could it be lmas? or injector ticking? i only hear it during idle, but when i go cruising i don't hear any type of ticking or anything.

yes, more than likely your injectors. let it idle so you can hear the clicking and take a long socket extension and put one end on you ear and the other on each of your injectors you should be able to hear it real well. if it’s your injectors don't worry about it. my 450's are loud as hell.

 

Could be LMAs, I've seen them get stuck and make ticking sounds when not engaged. Do you still hear the ticking when you hit Vtec?

 

i dont hear anything while im crusing

 

i have a similar problem. except my ticking speeds up with rpm. does yours? could mine still be the injectors? valves were adjusted. only started making the noise after 750cc install. how do i listen with a socket extension? did you mean a long reach socket?

 

lost motion assemly or whatever they call them

 

sounds like ur problem is ur lifters, u said that the sounds speeds up with the engine right? check those i heard its relatily easy to fix just need to take off ur vavle cover and tighten them hmmmm but i dont know

 

tighten valve lifters?

yeah what ever you want to call it, it an old trick works like a sethascope or however the expletive you spell it.

 

Most healthy Injectors make a "ticking" noise.

 

what could happen to my motor if i have damaged lma. how do i check if their bad

 

bump, i forgot i am running msd 6al and blaster 3. i dont know if that helps
