95 integra motor info might buy tommorow need help please

[Zorst]

Quick story behind my Q...

Ive been looking for a car for a while....found the/a 95 integ clean looking one owner full history...and I want to buy it TOMMOROW....so any help would be MUCH appretiated!

3Q's

1)at reving from idle to about 3500rpm the valve/camshaft cover of the motor seemed to emit a chattering sound. Normal? is it a noisy engine? motor has 70k miles on it

2) Is the gearbox usually tight on reverse?

3) Is the Timing Belt a DIY job?

If anyone could run its vin and send me the report I would be over the moon.

JH4DC435XSS038736 it should have a clean title and some info about bumper replacement?

1) probly just needs a valve lash adjustment, its a easy job if you're handy around cars. does it "tick" at idle?

2) It can be, mine doesn't like to go smoothly in reverse, it kinda hesitates a second then pops into gear.

3) the timing belt can be a do it yourself job if you have the tools, and a helms or haynes manual. I recomend doing the water pump at the same time.

don't like the idea of the engine noise. but if the car is in really good shape and the price is right, it'd be worth another engine if you popped it.

Its nothing major....at all!

This car has 70k on it with all the records looks like its previous owner took care of it.....

I WILL DO THE SAME as Im the new owner....
