my engines still tapping even though iv had my valve clearance done?
when its warm you can still hear it faintly when you put your foot down?
could it be anything else?
Have you got aftermarket parts in this engine ? I would'nt worry to much about it to be honest. My valve clearences are fine and the engine is still tappy...
its got stock bits no mods to the engine.
just sounds like a deisal, doesnt make me want to put me foot down.
but if its a common thing il not worry got good engine oil so it should be finee
yeah i though my problem was that as well but it wasnt so i wasted the money buying secondhand injector and got them recondition an now they just sitting at my draw
if it sounds more like a clacking sound it could be a big end rod bearing, went on my b18 and ruined the crank. if it is loud it is usually something to worry about, in my experience anyway.
it also sounded like a diesel.
its continuous with revs, when the engines warm like after a 20mins drive they seem to quieten down abit but you can still hear it tapping
hope its nothing major its a b16a2 with 89k on clock and full service history from honda so it cont be lack of servicing
my dad mazda premacys got 100k on clock but its sound so smooth even when cold
how much did it cost to get a new big end bearing?
il try and get some sound clips of it so you can hear for your self
Not alot of guys with B16b's B18c's will know about these as they have uprated ones from the other bseries dohc vtec engines and arent known for wearing out.
Heres a link to a good description of what they are -
