Im hearing some noises coming from my engine, its when the cars cold and im idling in a parking lot or at stop lights. It sounds like a ticking noise, some people suggested i needed a valve adjustment is there any other things that could be wrong maybe timing belt?

 

Do a valve adjustment first and see if that helps. Your timing belt either breaks or doesn't break, it doesn't cause ticking noises.

 

The H23 has a pretty loud valve train (if thats what you have), you may want to compare it to others before deciding there is something wrong.

 

i forgot to mention i have a 97 SH

 

oil level, or valve adjustment. good places to start

 

ne other suggestions

 

i have this problem too. I get the tick at idle. The tick isnt a constant tick. Its intermittent. What i mean is that its always there but theres no specific pattern. Valves adjusted.

 

I have an 97 sh...I heard a ticking noise and it was the oil level....oil to low....

 

hmm so its either oil or valve adjustment
thanks for the help

 

ne other suggestions if theres ne?
