I hear the same noise at idle... and I had mine adjusted at acura not too long ago.

It's weird because the noise isn't audible under the hood.

 

sleepercivicex- what was it that you did wrong? i read over the process of adjusting the valve lashes in my manual, and i think i can do it as soon as i get a hold of a feeler gauge (i think one of my friends has one) but id like to make sure there isnt something they left out.

 

I forgot to look at the pointer arrow on the cam gear in relation to the cylinder head.

 

ok cool that seemed like the thing i would probably screw up. thanx
