Just the reaction I expected. I should have known coming here was a waste of time. If I didn't know what I was talking about any other person that listened to you would be taking their timing belt off getting nowhere. The timing was never off, the vtec was malfunctioning making the sole cause...

This is true, however calling this particular issue a timing problem would be like saying that if this engine's timing belt was off a tooth was a vtec problem...

Yeah. I've heard it called other things, vtec valve, vtec oil switching valve etc.

How do you get timing problem? :huh: Vtec does nothing to the timing, all it does is lock the rocker arms so it rides off the higher lift and duration lobes on the camshaft, the camshaft's timing or ignition timing is not affected at all. The problem was the vtec rockers had oil pressure at...

Problem found. The new vtec controler was stuck wide open, swapped it out with a used one off a head I had on the shelf. Runs great.

Belt, pump and tensioner are new from honda. This noise is loud and the car sputters with it. I didn't want to rev it any higher than 1300 rpm because it's that bad.

Update: I tore the head apart, replaced the rocker arms, lma, upgraded valve springs and retainers then stabbed in a set of skunk2 stage 2 camshafts in, checked all clearances and adjusted valve lash to spec. Starts and idles just fine. Problem: If the rpm is raised above 1300 rpm or so, the...

Understood. I would think it was the LMA if it was constant through the rpm range, but the 4-5000 rpm window it makes the noise and slight sputter in then goes away above it has got me for now. I haven't ruled out the LMA completely, for now I'm thinking it's a sticking valve. If thats the case...

.006 on intake .008 on exhaust cold. The book way is .005 on intake low .006 intake high and .007 exhaust low .008 exhaust high. This particular noise is like it's off .5, very loud. And there are none off that far.

Hmmm, I did install after market adjustable cam gears, they are zeroed out but I wonder how accurate they are. I'll go over it again. I cut off the front lip of the valve cover so checking it will be a tad easier.... Thanks.

I finished a stock head swap on a 98 h22a, after adjusting the valves and started it for the first time it idled great. However, I now notice a loud valve train chatter (sounds like one very badly adjusted valve click noise, not the whole upper end) around 2500 rpm that goes away above 3000 rpm...
