i think we need a valve adjustment...correct me if i am wrong....

i cant really notice the ticking sound wen my engine is cold but when it starts to warm up, i can hear it....especially wen my car is on "P" , "N" and "R"....and i can some what hearin it whiling driving but my music kinda blocks the sound

my car makes a clicking noise coming from the engine only when i accelerate.. but once i let go of the gas i dont hear it. Then when i accelerate again, i hear it..

I have adjusted my valves on my Integra before. You don't need to worry unless it starts sounding bad. If you really want to do it, go ahead and do it though. It's not to hard, at least it wasn't to hard on the Integra. I had to buy feeler gauges and a special tool that had a wrench and flat head built together, but that was just because it was DOHC Vtech. You may just need the feeler gauges, a flat head, and a wrench. Get a Haynes manual, it will tell you how to do it.

I don't know if the V6 is easy to do.

Whats wrong with your lights? They coming on and off...

Remote start.

Yeah it's about time I get a Haynes manual. It's not that bad but is starting to bug me a little. Any online DIYs though? Just wanna get a feel of what I'm supposed to do.

I found this website searching on google. It has the general basics of the valve adjustment procedure.

i dont know if this will help or not, and im thinking it prolly wont.....

my car makes somewhat similar sound, but only when i first accelerate....kinda hard to explain....yes i do have manual, and like...it makes sort of clunking noise from time to time, when i take clutch out to the shift point and start gas-ing.

also makes that clunking noise once again when i shift shifter from first to second.....

first, i thot it was clutch going bad, but i can still chirp on second gear, i dont think its the clutch.....i need to check rear engine mount, but im not too sure if this is the noise engine tilting/hitting fire wall.....

how would you go to solve that problem???

a valve adjustment is gunna cost me 200-300 bucks thats from a local shop not the dealership

You'd have to change the pulley. If you can't DIY, it will be expensive. Might as well get a new timing belt since you'll have to remove the old one to change the pulley anyway. IF your problem is the tensioner pulley
