Odd noise from valve train
Not sure what happened but my car is now making this sound. Help? I pulled spark plug wires to see if it made a difference on any of the cylinders. Didnt seem too. Not sure what else could possibly be but bent valves.

It's really that simple.

It's SIMPLE! Can be done in 30 mins (maybe an hour if you are slow) without a problem. Here is one I found, no its not SPECIFICLY for a B20 but the concept it the same. Also, it's never a good idea (as mentioned above) to just leave the feeler gauge between the stud and pad and set the lash. You should be sliding it as it's WAY too easy to set too tight of a lash.

Different folks different strokes. I am not trying to start an argument - just pointing out for a beginner it's not a good idea. Some people wouldn't even notice that the valve is opening as they are tightening it. They think that because thy have the feeler gauge in it the gap won't change. I use the valve lash tool but the way proposed supports failure...
I personally do mine this way:
- Set engine camshaft to base circle for whatever method you want to turn the engine over
- Loosen jam nut on rocker over the valve to be serviced
- Slide feeler gauge in between rocker pad and stud
- Take screwdriver and adjust stud while sliding feeler gauge
- When proper drag is achieved, tighten jam nut
- Recheck valve lash with feeler gauge
- Repeat process as many times as necessary
This is just my way of doing it. I am sure there are a thousand methods. I have tried many methods in almost 5 decades and I guess I am in a "rut" of doing it proper.

Re: Odd noise from valve train
Adjusted valve lash to spec and made sure set nuts are tight. Made it alot quiter but still has some tick. Not sure if its just the normal honda tick or what.
