Default Help!!! My car is broken and i do not know why!


Ok, i have a fully built ls/vtec integra. i was driving on the freeway at around 65 miles per hour and all of a sudden i started hearing this really rapid clicking noise that was really really fast. I pulled over to the side of the road and then called a friend and he pulled it home with his truck. I looked around and couldnt really find out what was wrong but when i put my hand on the valve cover and i could feel a knocking on the right side of the top of the cover. I think it could possibly be that my cams are shot or that i have blown cam bearings, or possibly a stuck or bad rocker arm. Does anyone have any ideas in what could possibly be wrong with my tegs engine. By the way the top end is a b18c5 and the bottom is a b20b. Please help me out, i am desperate.

yea im going to wait till tomorow morning to take the cover off and check out whats going on. Anyone else with opinions? Would a timing belt broken really cause this noise? I would think it would be a little bit louder

RJ's probably asleep, so...you'd get better results in the hybrid or tech forums.

if the t-belt broke it wouldnt be running. check valve adjustment and oil level to start.
