i must suck at adjusting valves every time i try it they sound worst. even if i get the specks right they just dont seem quiet enuf, so i am going to take it to honda to see if they can get it right. any input here? i have a b16a with 2k teg type r cams in a 91 civic si. plus i cant wait to see the looks on the tech guys at the dealer.

 

same deal here, I have done it twice and only notice performance increaced but so did the dam ticking.

 

Alot of old B16s tick, I adjusted mine twice and I know there perfect. It is supposed to be because of dirty valve train componets. Don't think your the only one, I know a whole bunch that tick like that....

 

My valves were ticking in mine and i had a performance shop adjust the valves and it helped a little but i could still hear it so i think its a chronic problem for many B16 owners.

 

Same problem here. I got a CTR cam and it was working great for about a month. Then all of sudden it ticks real hard and loud. But I'm going into honda tommarow to find out if its anything else besides maybe the normal valve adjustment i need. since my Seconday O2 is also out.

All Honda motors do have some valve clicking. But its pretty quiet.
