i have done a like 3 valve adjustments after rebuilding my motor and i still here a loud ticking noise and it sounds like lefters are loose but they are all in spec? anything it could be?

 

are you doing them at the right specs? VTEC or non?

 

it has LMAs so yes vtec and yes i'm doing them in the right specs

 

could be your oil pump... valve tend to get louder and louder with bad oil pumps kinda lyk a warning.. "YOUR OIL PUMPS GOING BAD" is what thier saying lol

 

100% sure it is coming from the head???? could be possible an injector is the cause of the noise.............good luck

 

yea it could be a bad ticking injector???

 

Use the screwdriver to the ear trick to isolate the sound source.

 

I got this loud tick on my mini me set up injectors are fine put it seems to come from the camsprocket any ideas??

 

comin from the cam gear.... is your timing belt loose?lol

 

nothe thing is that the tensioner is bad and it had some slack on the belt but when i pulled on the tensioner and made the belt tight thats when i started hearing the noise??

 

What ? How would an oil pump going bad have anything to do with loud valves besides lack of oil to the head, when oil pumps go bad, they go bad, and fail and cause you to spin bearings.

Can you tell if the noise goes away at higher rpm's ?

 

did you make sure that your crank was at tdc when you did cyclinder one and quarter turn past for cylinder 2 and half past for cylinder 3 and 3/4 past for cylinder 4 when you adjusted the valves and are you sure your timinging is set correct cause if not then it is kinda pointless to make sure the valves are adjusted properly

 

What about a higher octane? What about a clogged catalyst? I would even though you said you did it like three times, check you valve clearances again, and check your ignition timing, cam timing spark plugs. Maybe even get as far as checking the cam shafts for wear.
