"my engine is making some kind of knocking sound when i rev or no rev it clicks when its on idle or when i press the gas."

so what your saying is that its clicking all the time, right?

run some engine cleaner through it (local parts store $5), follow the directions, change the oil.

 

YO need a valve adjustment. My old LS did it all the time, its not bad for the engine. Its probably the valve springs.

what he said valve adjustment and oil change

 

this is a 2001 LS, not an old LS. My 91 ticks, so does everybodies, normal, but a 2001? I doubt his valves need adjusting. You can always check the valve lash.............$4 tool, remove valve cover, follow instructions in manual or found online, prob take you 60mins first time.

 

My 94 gsr has a ticking noise also. I already did a valve adjustment but it didnt do ****. Now im gonna try and replace LMA's. (which i dont think you have)

 

year doesnt really matter, more so how you drive the car, it could be valves need adjustment.

did you read original post.

 

well our engines are notorious for loud injectors. it could be that?

 

'loud injectors'

wow... you're a winner. honda's are however notorious for valve click. they need to be adjusted with every oil change or there about if you have a vtec motor. trust me... a bit of click is alright, but you need to make sure the clearance is up to par etc.

have someone adjust the valves and make sure the valves are clearanced properly.

 

wat are LMA's

 

Dont do the parts cleaner. BAD IDEA NUMBER ONE. I got my head ported and polished. Weak later tried some motor flush. Then changed my oil to go to races. BAD IDEA. Ruined the valve seals

valves adjusted every oil change?..... i dont think the valves go out of spec that quickly

 

If you put motor flush in your engine and it ruined your valve seals you did something wrong. Sheesh, its $4 at the parts store, it can't be that strong. What did you do, leave it in your car? Its called "Flush" for a reason, your supposed to run it and change your oil right then, not a week later. Regardless of what you did or didn't do, MOTOR FLUSH could not, and did not, ruin your seals. Perhaps it was the racing???
