Bent valves? Anyone know if it's possible if you are adjusting your valves? I'm hoping it isn't....
Valve ticking
Did a DIY on my valves on my 2004 Tsx.
It has a very loud ticking noise now after my valve adjustment. I would say the sound of my valves ticking went up by 10x.
Any certified mechanics here can lend a hand?
Waitied for my engine to cool down to ensure even specs, I used the valve tool which should have made everything closer to factory than a flat head and a socket.
I also took it apart and re-checked and re-adjusted all the valves and the loud ticking is still there

Took it apart to check and a few exhaust valves were very loose...
Literally 1 cm of play when I lifted up the rocker arms.
Thanks guys, problem solved

Ouch. You must not have had the cams positioned correctly each time. Glad it's all straightened out. Also, it had to have been running crappy, right?Took it apart to check and a few exhaust valves were very loose...

How it went wrong I couldn't tell you, never work on a car with a buddy when you are 5 beers deep :jester:
Yep, only damage done is from idle for a few minutes. Went back and re-did the valves today and it runs like a champ
