Ticking Sound....HELP!
Hoping someone can help....yesterday I started my car to drive home from work, let it warm up until full operating temp, jumped on the freeway for about 15min, and then exited. After I exited and was driving maybe 35-40, when I noticed a tapping, ticking, flapping kind of sound. I drove it home, keeping around 30 mph and dont no what the hell caused this. The sound came outta no where. Started it up again today and the sound is still there. Funny thing is that it fluctuates, being louder sometimes then others. The sound is also rev dependent, as it speeds up as I rev. Oil levels are all good and car isnt smoking at all. Can really pin point exactly where the sound is coming from....sounds like its coming from the head...but then again it sounds like it could be coming from the intake manny or possibly something under the manifold.....anybody got any ideas for me????

I'd have to hear it for myself...
#4 cyl failure will be heard in the drivers seat as a loud valve tap.
Tensioner will be heard at the front of the head by the VTEC valve, but is like 3 times the speed of a valve tap, like a ratcheting noise.

Timing chain tensioner is likely the problem, done like 15 of them
At first I thought my valves just might need adjusting so a buddy and myself adjusted the valves but the sound soon came back. Like the other guy mentioned the noise is not always there... it comes and goes. any help would be appreciated...
