[Charrdcb7]

what kind of oil are you using?

[wed3k]

probably ned a valve adjustment

probably ned a valve adjustment

You want to hope the valve clearances need adjusting, other possibities are not so nice.

It's a worry if the noise doesn't occur when the oil is cold (and thicker) but does when the oil is hot (and thinner). Could possibly be the start of a big end bearing on the way out (then it might not be). Have a compentant mechanic listen to it.

A little ticking means the valve lash is off

[mbfcarclubcb7]

i use 20 50 oil. yea im not sure if it makes tha ticking when the oil is hot. but imma check it out rite on yall.

[Fake Thug]

20w50? that is way too thick. Why are you using such heavy oil?

[wed3k]

probably to help slow the leaks.

[johnl]

maybe to help lessen knocking noises...?

i been using Quaker high milage , and asked the guy that isnt synthetic better for my car and he told me no its not . thick isnt better for a older car, nd i could of sworn syntheic is better

but i get the same sound from my motor when the cars warming up/ and while driving its not extremely loud .. you have to guess its what 17 years of a engine being used and abused ? i think its a honda thing
