fyfie5 Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 if only i knew what that was but it pretty much sounds like a diesel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 They're the followers from the cam that push open the valves. When the clearances are not right the valve tops are hitting the followers on the return iirc.Anyway: http://www.civic5.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=86&t=404 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
