I really tried the search button but had zero results.

I have a '88 Civic 1.5 with lifter noise. Are these lifters repairable? Can I just remove them and bench bleed them? Or will I need to replace? Thanks for your help.

 

Your car doesn't have lifters, it has rocker arms. Your probably need a valve adjustment.

 

Awesome, thanks. I'll get the service scheduled.

 

Are you sure it's not just noisy *** injectors?

 

Yeah, the honda injectors can be the loud ticking you are hearing. Try to use a mechanics stethescope to find the location the noise is oming from.

That will tell you all you need to know about how to adjust your valves.

Excellent replies guys. Great karma to you all!

I'll try the valve adjust tonight.

 

I edited my reply to give you exact directions. Good luck!
