Default I hear valves ticking sometimes when shifting on high RPM

Guys, is it due to bad gaz quality or something wrong with my S?
I only hear the ticking sound for less than a sec.. the sound come and goes very quick.. you can barely notice it sometimes.

It has 35,000 miles

Thanks

Have you changed your oil lately? Or even checked the level? These cars are know to burn a bit of oil when running synthetic. Allot when running Mobile1.

Yes, I just changed oil. I got this response :

"Valves ticking? First and foremost, there are a lot of hondas out there that have this issue. IMO, I don't believe anything is wrong. Sounds like youve got an engine with some buildup that could require a good cleaning. About 1000 miles before your oil change, Id throw in a quart of Marvel Mystery Oil in the crankcase. Once you get your oil changed, replace ONE of the quarts with Marvel Mystery Oil and put in 4 quarts of Mobil 1 10w30, which also has cleaning agents--- drive it its 3000 miles before the next change. Marvel Mystery has a unique way of freeing up sticky parts, but it does take some time to work. Using this technique is SAFE and may well work. When I first purchased my S2000, I had a little ticking as well. After one quart of Marvel, the ticking is gone. Give it a shot, it cannot hurt! "

What do you think guys about this one?

if you never heard of Marvel Mystery oil before, than that could be it.

You need to buy that electric supercharger from your other thread. That will solve everything.
