Valve Ticking and SRS Light
JDM b16a in the car I am buying has some ticking... I believe all it needs is a valve adjustment. It runs great, compression is at 190 on all 4. Should I be worried about anything?
Also, the SRS light is on in the car. Any general ideas or precautions about this system? Any problematic issues?

Wow.
What caused it then?
Also, misc. question: the cover on the timing belt has been hitting the hood - is this a common problem? How can that be fixed?

Re: (Mario.)
the valve cover is hitting the hood? well im guessing its a crx with a b16? thats common for vtec swaps in rexes cause the USDM hood licks sack. Get a jdm ZC hood or cut the webbing under the hood that sits over the valve cover.
Its your lifters taping. not valves and sometimes tis a paint in the *** cause they just wear out and u have to replace this nut that is under them aint to hard at all but could just need adjustment. U can tell the difference in a knock and a click from a lifter..light click click as to knock knock

It's definitely a clicking, not a knocking.
Also, it's a 92 CX.
