like I have the same problem with my MY05, I have almost 50k miles (FINALLY), and I get my oil changed every 2000-2500 miles, last time I heard the ticking, it was right before an oil change.. and I changed it, and it was all gone... except, I have noticed that right when it starts clicking/ticking again, i'm about a good quart of oil short in my block. After like 1500miles??? is that regular?? hahaha.. dayum. like I know I VTEC often and all, but I don't leak oil anywhere. I put in 5quarts each time i change my oil... lmao..

this ticking for me occurs right before my oil changes, like more recently in the past month or two.. and only ticks when i start it up, cold or warm... and around the 1500-2200rpm range.

TCT????? btw, it sounds like its coming back from the far end of the head, nearest towards the firewall.. is that where our TCT is located?? or can it just be the harmonic vibration, making it sound like its coming from back there??

you guys help me! haha

thx,
Tylor

tylor...

check your engine oil every week.

you seem to always run low on oil

tylor...AP2s have lower oil consumption than AP1s. i would double check for leaks and what not. the TCT is located on the lower left corner of the head(if you were looking at the engine head on with the hood up)

I think that is what needs to be done to mine. I thought I needed a valve adjust ment, but i did it last night and the noise was still there. Me and my uncle used his stethescope to here where the noise was coming from and it is a ticking come from the head. I'm looking into getting it fixed next week now that I think I know what it is. I should probably just go ask Honda.

Your'e all over it Man! that's excatcly my cure. Somone should do a poll Mobil1 or synth vs Dino and failed TCT's. I recall using Mobil1 when it first came out in my van & my oil prussure gauge didn't move. After a week I drained it, went to dino and pressure was normal. I had forgotten why I stoped using Synth. Now I'm @ 100K and switched to Castrol GTX high milage. I have no burn off so far no need to top off. With M1 I would burn 1QT @3000k And my motor is quiet. The oil is still gold. M1 would be black and thin in a week So far,So good
