engine noise

[99ccord]

Hey, I have a 1999 honda accord lx automatic with an annoy tick that I can't decipher. I have done 2 valve adjustment but nothing has changed. It runs and drives good but the ticking/knocking noise bothers the hell out of me.

Here's a video link of my engine

Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Can't watch it right now but .. Exhaust leak ? Or maybe it's just your fuel injectors

I'm planning to do another valve adjustment . Ill be on the look out for leaks tomorrow.

sounds like a knock lol

Ha don't scare me like that. I change my oil every 3000 miles. The knock occurred after I did a valve adjustment which was sometime ago. I redid the valve adjustment about a month ago but the noise still.occurs.

I have the same problem. I think you just have to fine tune the valve adjustment.

Look for exhaust leaks at the header flange bc at that spot the magnify your lifter clatter

May sound crazy, but while you have the valve cover off, take a good long look at the camshaft. I had a progressively bad ticking noise a while back that turned out to be a hairline crack in my camshaft. Never got it properly diagnosed to get fixed and it ended up snapping and warping my head.

After a fine valve adjustment and looking for leaks the car still have a knocking noise. The noise seems to be coming from the timing belt cover area. Could it be a bad tensioner? I replaced with a new one about a month ago with my timing belt tune up.

Yes.

Could be a bad harmonic balancer (tensioner) or not properly installed. See if your belt is loose.
