hey all any ideas:

1.) valves are set to .007/.008 they are set very well
I ran through them again today making sure a larger
size could not fit, yet the proper size is snug.
2.) the timing belt tension is proper, the deflection is
the size of a 10mm wrench opening.
3.) VTEC is intermittant
4.) Oil pressure never throws a light, oil level is
4+ qt directly after shutoff.
5.) cams are set to dead 2,2 on my gears and the
valves were adjusted here.
6.) timing is at 16BTDC
7.) idles perfectly, no stumbling, no hesitation when
revved, good transient response to motor
8.) sound is present at idle and more so after say 2500-3800
It dissapears after 3800rpm
throttle does not change behavior
10.) I have Stock gsr cams and stock valvetrain

I think I may have destroyed the Lost motion assembilies.
Can anyone advise here?

Ive checked everythign and am left clueless

Did you check the lash hot or cold?

Take the lma's out of the head. compress them with your fingers, if they stick/hesitate when they are let go then they are bad. It should be a smooth motion when you let the pressure off.

Well i check all the lms's and there all fine. Changed the waterpump and everything also. Still hearing the noise. ive come to the conclusion thats it bottom end relatied
