car ticks

I have a d16y7 and on cold starts i let it warm for a few minutes but then when i start driving it ticks. Its fine when its at operating temperature. The timing belt was done at 100km and right now i have 187km. Is this something i can do in my own garage? Thanks

valves...get a valve adjustment...

you can get it done @ Honda for a pretty good deal...when I priced it out last year, I remember thinking it wasn't that much...like 50-70 bucks I think...not sure though.

Mine does that as well, I've been spending soo much money on other stupid car stuff lately I totally forgot.

So its okay to goto the dealer for this? I very rarely trust *any* dealer.
