Bad ticking in heads, help?
I'm new to hondas and I just bought a 95 civic hatchback that has a B16A in it. I dont know what it came from, it just says B16A on the block. It's an OBD 1 engine though cause the papers on the swap said harnes all went together no problem. The real question is that there is a raddling sound coming from the top of the head and you hear it more when I've been driving for awhile. Also when I hit about 5500rpm It starts caming a really bad sound like it's misfiring really really bad but not sure if thats what it is. Any help would be great.

Re: Bad ticking in heads, help? (B16A redline)
well the ticking sound would probably be the valves. its normal but i think a vavle job would help quiet it down

Don't rev it that high till you get it checked out. Take it to a shop asap.

Re: Bad ticking in heads, help? (redsihatchback)
yes it would be valves or the lack of oil that occurs with start ups. doesnt sound like a major problem. just the usual
