i had my b20 vtec motor for about 2 months now, and recently it has started to make a ticking noise at round 2k rpm and up. the noise stops if i let go of the gas, it sounds like its coming from the head. i check my valve clearnece and is all ok, not really sure what it could be, has anyone come accros it before?

 

I am not sure how pronouced the ticking noise is but i have seen valves that needed to be adjusted as bad as this situation. Check your valve lash as it is possible and an adjustment that many poeple overlook as a maintence.

 

lma's

 

i have already checked for valve clearnce, no problem there. the ticking noise can only be heard at around 2k rpm and up. and when i start the car it gets really loud untill it goes down to idle.

 

could be bent valves.... what head is on there?

 

its a b16a2 off a 99 sir with a b20b block

 

Could be valves or valve adjustments. But always be safe and check your oil.

 

welll yesterday morning the tinking got really loud and somthing broke while i was going up a hill, the motor died and at the same time by batery died *** well luck i was still rolling and maneged to start it. the knocking now seems to be coming from the block. i started pulling the oil pan off to check the rods and bearings, maybe i can just replace the bearings..... yup its a bearing

damn, time for a new block..

 

im just ganna replace the bearing temporarly, while i get a new block, its to cold to do an engine swap where i live.

 

how does the crank journal look?

 

i measured it and turned out oval lol, but i sand it down a bit and managed to make it as round as i could till i get a new motor, and sanded down the connecting rod cap too because there was a little play between the bearing and the shaft. hopefully it will last for 2 or 3 months till i get my motor

 

You sanded what ?

had the same problem with my gsr block...luckily i swapped it to a b20 block before i did more damage to it...

 

i managed to get it pritty round though, its not ticking anymore, but im not revving it past 3k, its only a temporary until i swap my other b20 in just waiting for the right wether.

 

what grit sandpaper did u use

 

couldn't it just be a noisy injector?

 

Thats crazy!! Never would have done that. LOL "Pretty Round"

 

OMG LOL! I'm in to see what happens next!
