i just bought a 1990 integra rs with an ls swap. it runs great. It has crower turbo cams, forged pitons and rods, and some other stuff. there is some oil on the valve cover kind of by the oil cap. how should i fix it?there is also a ticking sound right next to the cam gears. my friend said it is probably a lifter. is he right? HELP?

 

nothing like a clean engine
$35 and some elbow grease..

 

unn.. so your oil cap is leaking?? just to be safe, i would change the valve cover seal, and spark plug seal. also put some honda bond on edges.

 

As far as the ticking sound goes just adjust your valves.
