Morning folks of Ozhonda.

Mate of mine has noticed that his engine B16a2 has a rattle.

I have seeked advice and have been given possibilities and the car has been taken to Midas and they have said that it isn't a loose valve and said the engine is in ok shape.

The car has a loud tick for about 5 seconds once its started up and at about 3-5,000rpm it has a quiet tick.

Any idea's guys?

Help with diagnosis is much appreciated
