Ok, i have a fully built ls/vtec integra. i was driving on the freeway at around 65 miles per hour and all of a sudden i started hearing this really rapid clicking noise that was really really fast. I pulled over to the side of the road and then called a friend and he pulled it home with his truck. I looked around and couldnt really find out what was wrong but when i put my hand on the valve cover and i could feel a knocking on the right side of the top of the cover. I think it could possibly be that my cams are shot or that i have blown cam bearings, or possibly a stuck or bad rocker arm. Does anyone have any ideas in what could possibly be wrong with my tegs engine. By the way the top end is a b18c5 and the bottom is a b20b. Please help me out, i am desperate.

Why don't you take the valve cover off and have a look. Your description is a wee bit vague to give an answer. Get more info and then come back and ask questions.

...and cam bearings???

yeah thats it. it never ceases to amaze me how many ppl have "built" motors and know absolutely nothin about them.

 

it could be anything, like someone forgot to tighten up cam bolts, popped off rocker pin, who knows ... need to open it dude.

maybe rod knock

 

could be anything wrong, need to adjust valves, valve maybe stuck, rod knocking, maybe a bolt came loose, just gotta keep looking till u find it

 

maybe the oil pump blew apart...and fucked the whole bottom end.

 

thanks for the opinions, worked today and now its dark so cant take off the valve cover now, gonna do it tomorow. Definately not the oil pump. the noise is coming from the top end and i still have oil pressure. Ill get back to you guys tomorow
