The tappets on my DX (D13B1) are noisey, i dont wanna buy some from Honda coz they will be ££££££ or $$$$ in most of your cases.

So does anyone know where else i can buy some and a rough price of what they would be ?

Cheerz in advance

my ZC clicked like a bitch when I first got it... got the vavle spacing adjusted but still clicked... alot less... but still cliked... i find that alot with honda engines usualy quite noisy at idle.

all honda engines tick somewhat. they use mechanical lifters which tick by design.
