on my 95 coupe i am hearing this quick clicking from in front of me posibly under the hood. it only does it when the car hasnt warmed up fully yet and when its over 2500 rpm... and after the car heats up it normally stops...

someone told me it could be a broken header bolt... any other suggestions? im going to work on it after i recover from surgury so i wanna figure out what to do before i start working on it

thanks guys

clicking / ticking... valves? maybe need adjustment?

how many kms on it?

thats my guess

valves are usually alot louder on cold starts, sure it isnt an injector also?

why not try the screwdriver to ear trick?

The Prophet

the car has about 250km on it.... so high km's

where do i take it for adjustment and what will that run me...

Honda does it for like $80 I believe

The Prophet

ok, how can i tell if thats the problem forsure? and is there any shops in the hamilton area that anyone knows about that can accept lowered cars?? mine is too low for the normal floor hoists

Well, I don't think you can really know for sure. But, if you've never done one, I can guarantee you need one. It's actually not hard to do yourself but it's only $80 on the other hand.

Valves are easy to adjust. need a 10mm and a flat head screw drive and feeler gauges. I could do it for ya in about an hour. but you're far away.

the clicking is for sure the valves. injectors won't do that.

thanks guys

yes injectors tick, and the older they get the louder they get.

The Prophet

so what problems will i run into if these have not been fixed in time??

im going to go in to get them to look at it next week
