I just recently took my car to a mechanic to get it checked. The motor has about 75,000 to 80,000 miles and still runs good. What's been bothering me is that the motor makes a constant clicking noise when it idles which the guy told me it's the valves that need adjusting and when "Vtec" kicks in at 4,500 RPM's it actually feels like I'm going slower, makes an EXTREMELY loud noise that's not coming from the exhaust, and the car shakes when "Vtec" goes in. Also I need someone to take a look at the car because the engine was swapped and I don't think they swapped it correctly because there are bolts missing every where on the motor. I would glady appreciate help, and thanks.

 

I'm located in Carrollwood. I would be happy to take a look.

 

who did the swap?....

 

Yeah, you need to take it to someone like demoncivic, most mechanics dont really know much of anything when it comes to swaps. get another opinion on it.

 

take it to 2nrwerks 813-901-VTEC

 

Valve lash adjustment may just do the trick. it really easy to do. after I swapped heads on my car that is what I did and now she purrrs....

 

Any write ups on this? I may need to do this also.

After rebuilding my mini-me, he gave it a once over, adjusted the valves, and fix little odds and ends for me.

Great guy and good prices.
