I have a 98 civic DX and i've been hearing a ticking noise from the engine compartment for awile now...The ticking noise is noticeable outside the car while the car is just idling in park...My car has 51,000 miles on it...This is the 1st issue i have had w/ this car to date...If anybody could help i would greatly appreciate it!...Thanks!

 

Valves need adjustment and/or has the distibution belt ever been replaced?

 

Sounds like you might need a valve adjustment. But you have very low mileage, you drive your car hard all the time or what??

 

I have not got the valves adjusted yet...And i hardly never drive my car hard...Thanks for the help

 

alot of hondas need a valve adjustment..thats proably all it is...nothing major...very easy fix also....
