my valves need to be adjusted cause i can hear the ticking what kinda damage can you do if you go for a month or two without getting them adjusted and will you do and major damage if you race with them ticking.

 

nah just cuz u hear a clicking noise doesn't mean anything.. just make sure you don't shift below 5k and u should be just fine.

 

I was curious why it would be a problem to shift under 5k w/o the valves adjusted?

 

... because its not a good idea to push a car hard when its not mechanically sound

 

what kind of motor is it?

some of them ol jap spec B series motors get pretty ticky Partly due to injectors...

this coming from a guy that blew up his motor ignoring the ticking...

trust me, just rev high and if u get a chance... mix some two stroke fuel(oil and gas) and throw that in.

 

we're ready for your rods sir.

 

it's a jdm zc motor. man i should have asked early cause i have been shiftin belor 5000 rpms i shift at like 3 or 4 thousand.

 

i don't understand, how is it bad to shift below 5k? or am i missing something, lol i have a jdm sohc zc and i have the same prob. It ticks. And i was told that it is the fuel injectors, But i think its a combo of the valves and injectors. But still JUST NOT SURE&gt;

 

ok b4 you two go and wreck your cars... i was joking.

 

hopefully they read this again!

 

the ticking can also be the lost motion assemblies!!!!

No kidding. Some people like my self included, when someone tells me something, especially after asking for help, usually take peoples comments seriously. If you are going to give false info you should at least say you are joking at the end of you post.

Shifting below 5K ruins valves?

 

I dont know what the hell that dude is taling about....shifting below 5k ruins valves? Thats a load of ****. Its not going to hurt anything immediately...but in the long run it could wear on your cam lobes a little. But it should be fine for a while. Are you sure its the valves and not the injectors...its sorta hard to pinpoint where its coming from when the engine is running. I mean when the engine is running the valves, injectors, and dizzy are all ticking at once. The best way to pinpoint if its the injectors is to take out the starter fuse and turn it over...youll hear the injectors ticking...but that doesnt mean anything because all honda injectors tick.

BTW-Valves arent that hard to adjust at all. But if you take it somewhere to get it done it could cost a good bit...so i suggest buying some feeler gauges and doing it yourself.
