Default Light clicking sound from engine, B20A5.

Ok, I just got this B20A5 dropped in (3rd Gen Lude), and it's got a light click coming from it. It almost sounds like it's in the head or something. ANy ideas? I'm hoping to take to the shop tomorrow and get it checked out. And while I'm at it, anyone know how to free up a seized caliper? My buddy's CRX sat a while and the back left caliper is seized shut. Thanks for any input.

as for the light clickin noise, is it half crank speed , if it is then u need a valve lash and thats easy, as for the caliper u need a press or a good quality caliper spreader, the rebuild kit for the caliper is at napa....

+1 on clearancing your valves.

its a very easy procedure, but make sure everything is torqued to OEM spec.
