I have a ‘96 accord, 4 cylinder with 168k on the dash and my engine does not run smooth anymore. I am not sure how to explain how the engine sounds, but it sounds like either the pistons (valves) or something is running rough (as opposed to the quieter, smoother sound that I would like it to run at).

Could it be a product of the mileage on my car (and/or the fact that is it a 4 cylinder with that many miles on it)? Is there anything (repairs) that I can do to get my engine to start running smoother? Should this be a concern? Thank you.
