Default Clicking from engine....?

When I start my car, and it is cold a clicking noise comes from my engine. As I accelerate it gets louder, and it eventually quiets down once the engine warms up, but you can still hear it, only quieter. I opened up my hood, and it comes right from the engine, on top where it says Honda. Anything I can do to fix this? Thanks.

valve lash? when it heats up, things expland and reduced the valve lash clearece thus reducing the sound.

valve lash for sure, happens to every honda eventually, that and when its cold the oil is thicker and does get inbetween the cams and lifters and well so theres more metal on metal contact, injectors are not loud enough to be heard without a screwdriver

Yeah, I searched Yahoo. And it sounds like valve lash, thanks for the help guys. I don't have a manual, and supposedly it tells you how to adjust valve lash in there. If thats true, could someone get me a copy of that page or something. I've got a 97 Civic HX. Thanks.

as stated youre most likely dealking with the valves. stock honda injectors arent that loud and dont get quieter as the motor warms up.
