hey guys, i have a 2000si with ctr intake cams, and gsr exhaust cam. I am using stock valve springs and itr IM and TB.

There is a slight valve tick that seems to get worst as I drive. The thing is, I've already re-adjusted them 3 times in the past 3 months. I recently readjusted them 3 days ago, then today I can hear them again. It is very slight, you won't hear it over music or a loud exhaust, but when your car is at 3k+rpm and in vaccum, you can def. hear it.

when i recently adjusted them, it seemed like the intake side was good, but the exhaust side needed some adjustment. i was wondering if getting new valvesprings would help? Someone local is selling itr springs and retainers for 110.

is this noise normal for hondas? I know that hondas always have a slight valve tick, but this noise is definitely noticable. I also know that type-r engines are noisier because of the higher lift cams, manifold, header, ect. could this noise be normal with my b16 running bigger cams, TB, and IM?

sorry for the many questions, I've tried searching.
