Default clicking sounds during warm idle.

I have a 1997 honda accord lx. This car has been virtually reliable and I keep it well maintained. My only complaint is when I start my car in the morning it idles at 1500 rpm, at that idle it sounds smooth. But when the engine warms up and the idles speed goes down to 750 to 800 rpm I get this click clack sounds from the engine. Is this normal? If its not what do I need to do to quiet it down thanks.

That doesnt make any sense. Usually noises go away when it gets warmer....
But either way it sounds like your valves are out of adjustment. Do a search and you can find the instructions to DIY.
