My 97 ACCORD SE with the F22B2 non V-TEC motor has a sound like the valves are out of adjustment. I just had them adjusted and it did not help.
The mechanic set the gap at the wide end of the clearance and it seems I should have them adjusted to the tight end of the range.

The sound is only during acceleration.
If I push on the gas it is there if I let up it is gone; even though, there is only a few hundred RPM change.
How do I found out what it is? I have searched through hundreds of posting here.
HELP me please.
Thank you, Lonn

 

sounds like the car is PINGING.. is the timing set right? check that first. good luck.

 

or maybe its even an exhaust leak, that'll make a clicking sound with load on it too

 

I had an exhaust inspection and have no leaks.
I am getting some great leads folks.
Thanks alot
