adjust the valves its not hard.

i just adjusted mine, it helped but i need to do it again. usually takes me about 3 to 4 tries to get em the way i want. (little to no tick)


it could also be the injectors.

one way to find out is star the motor, sit your *** on top of you valve cover and put your ear right next to the injectors and valve cover.

you probably just need a valve adjustment.

Sounds like a valve tick. No biggie, do a valve adjustment and you'll be fine.

(we hope).

If not you have a lot bigger problems

rotate crank 180° (cam does 90°) and number 3 will the at TDC (up points to exhaust side) set number 3 valve lash

rotate crank 180° and number 4 will be at TDC (up points down) set number 4 lash

Sounds like a ticking valve. Do the valve adjustment as previously recommended and see it that fixes it.

thanks so much for the info.

what are you bumping for? let the car sit overnight and do a valve adjustment the next day. if the noise isnt there after everything is within spec then its not the injectors

Valve clearance for a B16a2 is .06-.07 intake and .07-.08 exhaust.
