Ive read a couple threads about this, but i dont have my questions completely answered.
first, I just bought a 91 hatch, with a b18a1 and b17 heads. 5 speeds, stage 3 clutch. has a lot of work in it. when i started it up, i had the hood up to look, and i can hear this ticking sound. Im fairly new to hondas, and so this scared me. i imagined rod knock, but decided to look here, because the owner told me it needs a valve adjustment.
question 1. what specifications am i looking for in that?
i read a couple articles here and there that said that was a normal thing for my set up, and simple additives can help that
question 2. is this true?
also, i heard about LMA's
question 3. how would i check, and would it be them?
and personally, i want to know if its better for me to do this work myself, or have someone else do it ( im not new to cars, just hondas. ive worked on nightmares before, so im not gonna mess things up or dive in without research)
and last question, what else do i need to know? is there something no one has told me yet?
thanks, an dont hate on the new guy too much?
