Civic clicking noise issue

[japcollector]

Hey people just bought myself a ej civic coupe as a daily driver. It has around 160000k's on it and was service last week by my trustworthy mechanic and was told the car by him the car is in great condition.

However I notice a clicking noise coming from the engine bay when I park my car after I take it for drive (short and long). The clicking noise last for 30sec or so and is quite audible.

So yeah do I have anything to worry about or is this normal?

engine cooling down and metal contracting i think...
sounds like someone hitting a metal panel right?

Yeah sounds like someone is hitting a metal panel. So that's perfectly normal right

It sounds like this right?: Tiktiktiktiktik......

It's the metal in the engine bay cooling/contracting.
