Maybe I'm just crazy but it seems like the lifters on my h23 are a little noisey. (at idle)
A friend of mine said that all dohc motors do this, so is there maybe a different weight oil or something that would quiet them down? Am I just paranoid or what. Oh yeah, the engine's only got 37, 000 miles.

 

my h23 still make a lil noise, and i just recently adjusted the valves, all the non-vtec dohc honda motors tend to click a lil

 

Hondas don't have "lifters" in the traditional sense. If the valve is not adjusted correctly it will make a noise, but that sound is coming from the valve itself. There is no lifter.

 

yeah my engine clicks when its cold really loud and then quiets down as it warms up, not sure what its coming from.. but it does get faster when the engine revs

 

If you get the valves adjusted, or do it yourself, the valve train quiets down a good bit.
