Engine ticking & ebay engine mounts

Out of all the links from google, this was by far the best step by step instruction link:

Like I previously said, I cannot access youtube at work - but its definitely worth while doing so before you start this - especially if you've never removed your rocker cover so you're not in for a shock!.

Tips:
Removing your air box is as easy as pie - but it takes longer than removing your rocker cover. Also, have a system so that you know where to put what when re-installing everything - I accidentally put my vacuum hoses the wrong way, and after doing the adjustment heard this weird ass suction noise. Once again, I searched this on you tube and found out my mistake!!

Make sure your car is in neutral!! otherwise you might run over your foot wen turning the crank shaft!


Also,

I ordered these from Honda before I started any work:

- Head cover gasket
- Head cover washers
- Rubber seals

Can get these all from Honda for $98.

If you have all the other tools - ther rest is priceless ;)

You had to take out the airbox to adjust the valves?

Been a long time since I had an OEM airbox but I don't remember removing it to work on the valve train.

As for engine mounts, it ain't where you buy them, it's who makes them that counts.

Megan Racing is reasonably well respected in the US. I'm not personally familiar with these but shouldn't be hard to find reviews on S2ki.

Thanks Aus, will look into the reviews. Cheers

Dude I had the same problem, Most likely to be oil (i know every1 said same thing) but the vtec runs of oil pressure (why the S didnt come with a oil press gauge i dont know!!) i was driving and had very laggy vtec and when i pulled to a stop i would hear tick tick i went and did a full service and only dropped 550ml of oil from the motor!.

I was talking to a shop who does engine rebuilds nd he told me that f20c i one of the best 2lt motors out but he did say that the AP1 f20c makes more power but drinks oil compared to the ap2 f20c. he said it was cause of the sleaving they use in the block -

hope this helps and check your oil.

oil and filter = $80 or there bouts
Rebuild = $2000+ depending on who you know.

hey fellas.. Just a quick question.. If there is no sounds coming from motor.. would there be a point in opening up and adjusting them..?

im not sure if i got the same problem but my s2k is making a noise aswell wen its idling makes a funny noise wen u rev the car to around 2,000rpm the noise goes away?
