Default HELP: JDM D15B VTEC Motor Tapping Noise

I have a 1995 honda civic with a JDM D15B VTEC. The motor is making a tapping noise. (not a knocking). I have adjusted the valves to the correct settings. If you lean over the valve cover and smell you can smell gas rich.

What could this be?

If you adjust your valves already, i guess it would be your clicking fuel injectors.

if someone adjusted the valves for you, then the injectors will only tick, any more is an issue...

the extra fuel is more than likeley the nonvtec ecu on a vtec engine. the injectors were dirty as hell when i pulled them out temporarily. told you they looked icky.

still no cel? there should be a tdc/cmp code thrown. the injectors jsut dont fire at the right time.

FIXED! CYL 4 injectors was failing! replacing all the fuel injectors fixed my issue.
