Valves Making Noise
I'm screwed. I don't know how bad I'm screwed but I'm screwed for sure. The other day I took my car up to 140 with 3 people in the car (I regret it) and while I was in fourth gear, I was so focused on not crashing that I did'nt notice my RPM gauge going to 8400 RPM. I'm glad I noticed it earlier, or else my engine would've blown.
Ok, long story short: My valves are making a clicking noise, are my valves really damaged or could it be a small valve adjustment. If my dad finds out, I'm screwed. He knows the B18 inside and out so if the valves are bent, he's gona know what I did. Maybe if I tell him I accedently pulled it from fifth gear to second

Re: Valves Making Noise
honda engines are bad about letting the valves click when overrevved, but as far as i know, you should be able to check your clearances and adjust them accordingly. other than that....pray.

Re: Valves Making Noise
if worst comes to worst, stick with the missing a shift story. i dunno about 5th to 2nd, that would have blown the damn engine, but 4th to 3rd and a heavy foot would be more plausible.
