Valve Adjustment results on my Accord

[eswaroop]

Hi,

I was troubled by a clacking noise from my engine, assuming that it was from the valves, I took it to a service center for valve adjustment. The engine does sound a little better now, but the clacking is still present. When asked, they replied that it was normal on 2.0 and 2.3 liter engines. Is that correct? Or did they do a poor job? I could try and record the sound and post it as a file if that helps..

Thanks

you get that sound over time in these engines. in DOHC engines it's more noticeable. there are twice as many valves to click.
