When did you last have the valve clearances checked? (Properly)

All day long that is a tensioner on its VERY last days.

Put a long screwdriver on it and you ear on the end (passes vibes thought the s/driver to your ear) I bet you will be convinced that it
is totally f.ed.

Sounds very similar to mine did before I had the timing chain tensioner replaced. Id say that is your problem.

Heard similar before - it was Tappet noise. Check/Reset Valve Clearance

Hi guys, thanks for you input .

Its due for a service this month on the 16th, 6 month previous to this i had the valve clearanced checked and adjusted by honda carlisle.

Ill probably get a pre chain tensioner, and let Honda have a look at the valve clearances.

BTW as i have previously noted i have hit the 100K mark. A week ago i got a CEL, misfire on cyclinder 2, hasnt returned though?!

Maybe get honda to check injectors too?

Cheers

Any idea how much life i have left on it? Or will it go kaboom?, cant get in honda this week for a service.

But i can next week, as ill have another car to use in meantime.

Cheers

P0302 (misfire cyl 2) and ticking - symptoms of a blocked/frozen injector. Do you have a pulsating exhaust? i.e exhaust gases no flowing out smoothly

Tensioner noise post

Compare this to your noise.^

By the way adjusting the valve clearances is best NOT left to a Honda
dealer, they dont allow enough time to do it properly.
If an inlet valve has a gap of between .008" to .0010" the Honda tech
will shove his guage in and if it slides in nicely he will leave it. But it
really needs to be set to .008" and that takes time and patience. (I've
done it three times)
