Ok I really need some help here, I have a 93 gsr motor b17a1 in my 95 gs. Last week while driving in stop and go traffic and my car started ticking or clapping, it sounded just like a stealth or saturn with no oil( if anyones heard either, they are really loud) so I got home and checked my oil, about an 8th qt low which is about right on to its normal consumption(it sees 8000 RPM everyday). But I topped it off and ran around the street and it got worse... So i waited till the next morning and adjusted the valve lash, a few were reasonable loose, Yes I did this on a completely cold motor. All said and done when i started it, it was noticably quite, untill it warmed up then that same noise... So the next morning I checked my adjustments, they were tits perfect... Checked oil again its good. I thought it might be the timming belt tensioner, so I listened with a screwdriver and the noise to me seems to be coming from the intake valve on the 3rd cylinder, almost right by the valve cap for the oil fill..... This is where I get confused.... While sitting and reving the engine the noise only appears from 2000 to 3000 RPM, no lower no higher...
While driving it is another story.... While driving it does not matter where the RPM is IF! IF! I am giving it less than 30% throttle (looked on my vafc), the noise is there at any RPM.. HOWEVER!!! If I floor it or have it above 55% throttle the noise does not appear untill 37-3800 RPM NOT! below sounds great till 3700
and again just with the screwdriver as a steathascope it seems as if it is the intake valves on the 3rd cylinder....
Please n e help would be beyond appreciated... This is killing me.... I fear for the rods and such....
Let me know if it would help to post a video of the noise.....
