Loud Ticking all of a sudden

INFORMATION Integra Help
1

my engine is ticking very loudly.
it just started
it is dependent on the revs (gets louder when I rev higher)
tick, tick, tick, tick,

valve adjustment was done when eda9 install colt cams and cam gears.

any idea what this?
how do I know if its the injectors or the valves?
or could it be the cam or ignition timing?

any help would be great thanks :slight_smile:

Hey Ian, the first thing that I would do is check your timing and listen to your engine at idle, then rev it by pulling on the throttle cable and listen to see if you can hear where it is coming from.
I am guessing that your valves are ticking, so you might just want to pull the valve cover and take the 10 minutes to check the clearances.
Let me know if you need anymore help.

thanks jason

I did a valve adjustment but the clattering persists

I will check the ignition timing.

I put some injector cleaner in the tank too.

thanks again much appreciated BR

Do you think it could be a fuel problem?? Octane maybe?? Does it sound like it is pinging??
It could be a bad tank of gas or a low octane level (if your running high compression).

you think it might go away once I use up this gas and put in some 94?

its possible it could be bad gas but Iā€™m not running high compression

Just go put some new gas in and see if that helps. I doubt it will since your not running a higher compression.
Other than that I cant think of what else it could be without looking at it myself.
Good luck with the fix, whatever it may be.
