i just got a 89 civic HB with a B16A and a blown head gasket, i fixed all that jsut fine but i hear a light rattle at low RPM. i have triple checked the timing and its all good. i don't think the bottom end is bad, i was kinda thinking i might need a valve adjustment:confused:. any imput would be great.
 
The same thing happens to me in my CRX, i just thought it was the mounts....but it only does it around 2K RPMs.....Let me know if the valve adjustment helped or not.
 
i got the car with a blown head gasket, i checked my valve lash again after it cooled over night and it was a bit off. it still does it but not as much i can't hear it when im in the car.
 
now i'm having a problem with the vtec hitting... when i step on it, vtec never hits and it only hits about 5 or 6 grand. but when i only press about half way down vtec hits hard. when i got the car the pressure switch wasn't connected but i wired it in...
