Default engine tapping

havent been here for a while, but any-who
i was coming back from work to go to school for class, when i notice that when i parked my car, i heard some light engine tapping sound when it was at idle. So i reved it just a little bit, and the speed of the tapping sound had increased as well. I checked my oil, and it was full, and my oil was just changed last week. Before my oil change, there was no tapping sound. Its not load, but its apparent, and i havent quite heard this before in my car. Anybody can help?

Some place - $40 to $100

Tools to do it yourself ~ $50


Should be done rather frequently. If you plan on owning the car for a while, I'd suggest investing in the tools.

A very quiet tapping could also be noisy injectors, which seem to be a common problem in all Integras but particularly in GSRs.
