Re: "b16 head ticking" (ls-vtec1kid)
possibly, but the lost motion assemblies make noise as well. the LMA's take up the slack from the vtec lobes and keep them quiet. that is normal.

I think it also depends on the viscosity of the oil you use. Lighter oil will make your valves tick a bit louder than heavier viscosity oil.
Adjust your valves to the tighter end of specs.

Re: "b16 head ticking" (MikeMAN)
I've done just about everything but replace the LMA's or Injetcors and can't get my ticking sound to go away.
It only does it at 50%+ throttle while the car is warming up.

Well as we know metal expands under heat so yes when your car is warming up it does make a ticking noise due to the excessive valve lash
