ok this is my 1st thread or post what ever you want to call it.. any i just bought a 1990 Acura Integra its my first call an i have in it 4 a while.. an out of no were it started making this knocking sound. coming out head of my engine. My friend said that all i need is a valve alignment. and another 1 of my friend says i have bent valves. i dont know who to believe so if any 1 could help me .. i would be very happy thank you..

 

bent valves=
missing, cel code, studder at idle,
Knocking noise=
Rod bearing gone due to lack of oil,
i can't think of anything else.
Do a compression test that will tell you if it is your valves or not!

 

You'll hear a ticking sound comming from the engine...

 

honda_fan06.. good looking yo thanks 4 the help.. well i do here a Knocking noise coming out the head of my engine. n 4 some reason i seen to loose oil out of no were but can never find any dips on the ground. so i just 1 more oil in every time the light comes on.. was that a bad thing to do?

 

ticking for valve lash. bent valves = missfires or car runs like ****.

 

Compression test is the best way to find out or leak down test. hopefully u just need valve alignment good luck.
