I had a ticking clicking kinda noise too..thought it was valve clearance but it was just the drive belt because it had stone chips in it that were making the noise against the metal pulley. Got it replaced and noise was gone.
Get them to have a look but i think it'll be your valve clearances. Most common thing anyway.. 1 hour labour = approx $100 + $32.35 for rocker cover Gasket, if done at a Honda dealer.. Well that what we charge at my work anyway. If you lived in Adelaide I could of done it for you... Hope it all goes ok for you
At 67k, I doubt it is the valve clearance causing the ticking sound. Valve clearance being out of spec causes your engine to sound like a diesel. It is probably the injectors. Take a long screwdriver, place it at various parts of the engine and put your ear on the handle end. Your should be able to pinpoint where the ticking sound is coming from. On mine it is the injectors and it has done so since the 3rd year of ownership.
Ok.. We've had euro's with loose tappets at 30,000.. The inlets always go tight and exhaust loose. At 40,000ks there normally loose. but 0.04 of a mm and that is out of spec.. Good luck with it..
