Hey guys, I've owned my Civic for maybe 50 miles and I love it already. A little on the slow side ha, but definitely one of the best cars I've owned as far as MPG goes.

I instantly changed the spark plugs, oil, oil filter, and air filter shortly after my friend drove it home for me. We also Seafoamed it since it's just under 200k.

Today it was finally nice out, so I took the car for a ride with the windows down and noticed a clicking sound coming from the engine bay. My friend says his Civic makes the same noise, but just not as loud. I'm not sure if the car had the clicking before I bought it, but I definitely noticed it today with the windows down. Should I be concerned?

Here's a Youtube video I made from my phone. Somehow the video got out of sync from the audio, but you can still hear the audio fine.

Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!

 

valve adjustment

 

injectors tick but more then likely that is your valves... do a valve lash adjustment then it will be fine :D

 

Thank you guys. I guess I have my upcoming weekend planned lol.

 

when the distributor bearing goes bad motor stars making a similar noise.

 

Sounds like it is time for a valve lash adjustment!
