Ok some of you may know that I have a B16A1 SiR2 on my 1994 civic ex. I did all the works to the head and bottom end...the only thing the head has that's stock are the cams...everything is fully done...Have port/polish, oversized valves, angle valve job, new seals and keeps, titanium retainers, and DUAL EIBACH SPRINGS from CROWER....
The reason I capitalized that is because it could be what is causing my ticking and wanted advice. I adjusted the valves twice perfectly. I have the intake at 0.006 and exhaust at 0.008...I have them torque to 14lbs too...everything is in specs...but I hear a loud tick in the head..its not exhaust leak and its not the injectors because I checked them...a friend of mine says that those springs are too stiff so thats why I hear the ticking...he told me thats the price I pay for getting good springs and thats totally normal...is he right?..do I have anything to worry about...I mean I have always done my own work but first time going from stock to high performance...what do you guys think?
