It's normal for that engine. Even my 06 K24 makes a little noise when first being driven in the mornings, but the F22s were louder.

Yeah, it's the nature of the beast. If it's as loud at full operating temp as it is when cold, you may need to do a valve adjustment. Otherwise, yes, perfectly normal. I had the first valve adjustment done at the dealer on my 96 Accord @ 150k miles. Didn't notice a difference...

I have a 95 EX also and it is kinda noisy. Yes, it is just a little more noisy when cold.

If you fear a sticking lifter, dump the oil and refill but substitute a quart of oil for Marvel Mystery Oil. Run it for 1,000 to 1,500 miles. Dump it again.

MMO will clean out the engine, clean the lifters and rest of the valve train.

When you get an extra $50, it probably wouldn't hurt to have the valves adjusted.

These are some very strong, reliable engines from what I have experienced. I've only had mine for 4,000 miles, but it has impressed me. I just had a timing belt job done on it and the mechanics said that the VTEC's are noisier than most of the regular Honda engines.

Yes, that they are.
