I left work the other day and everything was fine. After 20 mins of me being home I had to go back out. I went to start my car and I heard a clacking type of noise coming from my motor. I poped the hood and it was coming directly from my valve cover. Any help would be appreciated.

 

who did the valve adjustment? maybe they forgot to tighten down a bolt??????? hopefully not.

 

Ohhhhhh, lose bolts would rock!
New parts for you! For free!
heheheh

 

They might have not correctly torqued the bolts, or maybe they just botched the adjustment. Do you have an LS or GSR? GSRs are notorious for having loud injector tick, sounds like valves.

 

I have an ls, and can you tell me what botched means? I took my car to this place called matta motors. The only work on honda/acura vehicles and they been in business for like 27 years or something.

 

oh yeah, my car will only do this after is has been ran. It does not do this on a cold start.

 

botched = f*cked up
