Did your valve cover say Vtech, or Vtec?


I know you said you did it already, but i'd do a valve adjustment.

Is the timing correct? I hope you guys knew what you were doing and didnt just simply put the B16 head on the block and just torque it down and call it a day.

When the head is ticking, you generally need a valve adjustment with feeler gauges. It could be a few other things but I've always checked that first and it usually quiets things down alot.

Since you have a B18B1 I would check out http://www.team-integra.net . There is alot of information and articles on that site that would help you out. I believe they actually have a full article with pictures on how to properly adjust valves using the feeler gauges and exactly which specs you'll be shooting for.

Good luck man!

yea, i actually found it really quick....and it has an AWSOME DIY write up with very useful pics... to you for the help and to that site...

 

ive ajusted the valves 4 times my self with a feeler gage and took it to a import shop an had them ajust them but we cant figure out the problem...the head has been drilled for lsvtech its been shaved a little bit but that aint the problem. timing is perfect it jus sounds like valve chatter

 

why do you keep spelling it as vtech when it says vtec right on your valvecover?


how old is the head? it could be bad lma's causing the clicking.
