i would think it would be relevant to the teg forum,i do have an integra after all...
Heres a question,would used lifters and cams work?
as to the noise it makes,thats a hard one to answer...i had a rod bearing spin in my toyota,and this is a similar noise...only difference is that when i let off on the gas,when the rpms drop it makes a sound kinda like a whirrr.....but in general it is a ticking sound.
My mechanic determined it was in the top end,he adjusted the valves,and a bunch were out of adjustment...but the noise didnt go away,so now i guess i have to replace the lifters and cams...

Will lifters out of a different head work???i know some things are interchangable,such as valve springs ect...

if anyone has any idea what i can do,id be hella happy

thanks
