[crx_si_90]

Whenever im drivin i hear a tickin noise in the left side of the motor near the pulleys. It ticks the whole time the car is on. ALso while driving the motor moves foward and back when i accel. and decel...not sure if im missin motor mount or if somethin else is wrong. I have 3 mounts..(sides and back) not sure if supposed to have front??

your probably hearing valve tick which is easily repaired by removing the valve cover and tightening down the rockers, with some simple hand tools and a feeler guage to determine how tight to make them.

the stock motor on the car would have 4 mounts, if the motor was swapped most swaps come with only 3 mounts, but should keep the motor from moving that much when driving around.

Sometimes small exhaust leak sounds like a ticking noise. As for the engine shifting, check you mounts like crxlvr said. If could be that all of your bolts are tight but the bushings are worn out.

i thought d/b series engines had five mounts..... one between the engine and fire wall, two on the tranny side and two on the engine side. unless a crx is magically different than every other civic and integra......
