there is a ticking noise comming from the engine. i had a major tune up with valve aadjstment but the noise is still there. someone said that it might be the injectors im not sure i just want the noise to go away. do anyone know what it is or let me know how to get ride of it. thanks

 

ok well you'd have to narrow down where its coming from. left side? right side? head? bottom end? it could be your valves still aren't adj. properly, or maybe your timign belt is too tight, it could be many things.. maybe its comign from your alternator... and it only started after you took it to the shop? i'd take it back and ask. best idea

 

my 90 teg ticks a lot to

 

I think all hondas tick eveentually

 

My B20B tick a lot, I checked it out yesterday. My mechanic said its normal for your lifters to make that sound on big displacement engines!

all these engines tick somewhat, it's the injection, don't sweat it

 

coming from the head. especially when the car is warm. if its the injectors how can i fix it.

at least it aint ur rods knockin.

 

i don't think there is a way to "fix" it, like i said, they all tick, it shouldn't be loud enough to hear past the hood though, you should only hear it when you're in the engine bay

 

There is an additive you can add to your oil which helps reduce the noise. I put some in my teg and it worked quite well. 4got what it was called but you can get it from basically any automotive shop

 

thanks for all the info

 

It sounds like your lifters are sticking on your valves. How many miles on the motor?

 

145000miles

With that many miles those valves have had some work and a valve adjustment isnt going to fix those caked on crusty valves and retainers there sticking and the valves are not being able to open and close correctly. It would run a million times better after you redo the internals of the head also if the money is able do a mild port and polish while your in there.

 

or, even cheaper, maybe buy a low mileage b20b/z or b18b head from HT. they go for like $50 sometimes if your timing is right.

 

Its called Lucas motor or oil stabilizer
