ok so i have had a tapping noise coming from the engine bay for awhile now. now im here looking for some help. i cant exactly pinpoint where it is coming from.

its not affecting the performance of the engine but it is pretty much pissing me off. it isnt consistent, and yet some times it is with the revs of the engine. it will do it on acceleration,deceleration,idle,but i cant tell if it is doing it in vtec as vtec is way to loud to hear the noise over. and have done 1 valve lash and checked it twice after that.

oil is brand new completely full, and thats really all i can think of. please help me with this one guys.

 

i'm gonna say maybe a valve adjustment is in the near future?

 

as the first post says i have done one very recently and have checked it twice since. everything is within specs.
