Re: valve ticking
You've checked the oil level?

At a certain amount of miles, (over 50K) 4cyl accords are known for valve tapping.
You can use some STP oil treatment. It's about $3 from Pep voys or Autozone. That should rectify the problem. Use it after each oil change. It provides extra lubrication during start ups where valve tapping is most common

Re: valve ticking
Don't use motor honey. Valve adjustment is a process of adjusting a screw on the rocker arm above each valve so that there is a set clearance between the valve top and the rocker arm when the engine is cold and the valve is closed (TDC for that cylinder. ) Requires a wrench, screwdriver and a feeler guage.
