And now I'm getting a little confused. In the first post you said "tap" AND "knock" ... but they're different sounds. Which one is it? Tapping can be lifters which is common Hondas. Knocking can be tons of different things.

I was under the impression is was more of a knock you're hearing

im sure you did not bend a valve,you would drop a valve first from over reving the motor..other wise the car would pretty much be undriveable

i have a tapping sound in my lsvtec setup as well, had valves adjusted and still doing it, i believe its the lma's or a stuck lifter or something in the head also. Need to make a video and post it to get some advice, couple people heard it and all say probably the rocker system. IDK?? B18-b bottom end and B17 vtec Head.
