i adjusted my valves to rid this valve ticking problem. (at around 1250rpm), it seems i have moved the tick from 1250 to 3000. any ideas? oh yeah. how did everyone adjust the intake valves, i had quite some difficulty because the fuel rail was in the way. thanks in advance.

 

what year accord and what engine?

 

are you sure its your valves? it could be noisy fuel injectors, try BG 44k.

 

94 accord. f22b1. non-vtec. pretty sure it isn't the injectors, i used a stethascope. (i know i spelled that wrong) and all the clicking was under the valve cover.

f22b1 is vtec...the f22b2 isnt vtec

 

thanks for correcting me. does anyone have any advice on the valve ticking?

 

All motors tick. It's a by-product of metal cams actuating metal rockers/rollers and metal valves under heavy spring rates. All my family's motors tick at idle, but you have to have your head under the hood to hear it, and you're using a stethoscope?!?!? Aren't you the guy that stalled his car in a deep puddle/lake?

 

no prob bob

 

in the middle of dc too....

ROTFL!!!!!

 

yes, i stalled my car in water. the reason for the stethoscope was to ensure the ticking was the valves and not the injectors like someone else had mentioned. i understand all valves tick especially with a overhead cam type configuration. although i'm pretty certain this tick is louder than the norm. i can hear it from my drivers seat with the window down at about ~3000rpm.

Did the ticking exist before the hydrolock?

 

Ooooooo, you thinkin what I'm thinkin?

 

yes it did. but it was at around 1250rpm. after i adjusted my valves. (post-hydrolock). i moved the tick from 1250, to 3000.
