I went and got my valves adjusted at the dealership for $116. However I noticed the noise was still there this morning when I went for a drive and is still there. Any suggestions on what I should do next? My father and I thought for sure it was the valves.
Maybe its just the injectors like alotawatts said.

 

I have the same problem, adjusted the valves and can hear some sligh tapping sometimes..

 

injectors....or rocker arms

 

Does the tapping go away after the engine warms up? Is so, then this is normal for a honda motor. Just let your car warm up well in the mornings. If you still hear tapping after engine is warm then valves could be the problem. You can only adjust valves correctly when the engine is STONE cold!

 

The sound is only really loud in the mornings. After it is warmed up it is very hard to hear. I dropped off my car at the dealership overnight so they could adjust next day after sitting. I really don't want to bring it back to the dealership. Maybe its just normal. Its just really loud in the mornings...

 

The tapping in the mornings is NORMAL for honda engines. How many miles are on your 4-cyl.? Toyota motors are much quieter in the mornings.

 

try running a higher octane gas that will usually take care of valvtrain noise

 

I currently have only 40k miles on it. :-) What octane gas would be good? I'm also thinking about switching over to synthetic oil.

 

running higher octane gas in any accord prior to 7th gen is a waste as the ECU cannot compensate for the higher octane and your engine performance may end up being less.

C&D did a octane test on the 6th gen v6 car and the HP dropped about 7 or 10PH (I cannot remember the exact #) when the switched to 91 octane.

 

Its kinda weird that even after my valve adjustment I still have a noise in the mornings, or after a long sit.

 

Normal for Honda. Yeh, it also bothers me in the mornings. Just let it warm up well before you drive. Or, get a Toyota and see how much quieter the engine is in the mornings.

 

Are toyota's really quiet in the mornings? I wouldn't switch...I'm too happy with my accord.
