Default valve noise

I have a CR-V '03 with 6000 miles, When I start the car in the morning, no nioses in the engine, but after 10 minutes, supose I went to the market, and I start the car again, the noise in the top of the engine is incredible, I'm using the recomended oil and I replaced every 2000 miles.....
do you think thats normal for a 6000 miles car ???????

Your car is still under warranty. Take it to your dealer ASAP. It probably needs a valve adjustment for now.

Honda says not to adjust the valves on these CR-V's unless they start making noise. But I have seen one already that burned the valves because they became too tight (they wont make any abnormal noise when that happens). Yours just may be too loose.

Honda is reconsidering the recommended valve adjustment requirements. I'm sure they will change soon. They are very good at fixing things like this.
