honda d16a6 ticking question
was just wondering if a wobbly timing belt can cause the engine to tick, i took my cam gear cover off, and noticed the timing belt had alot of play, i mean it flops like a siv, and the engine ticks..... or should i just assume its head related? I figured it would be easier to pull the lower belt cover off to access the tensioner and re-adjust it (even tho i hear its a pain) rather than rebuilding the head. last time i had the valve cover off, all the springs looked to be seated properly, even though i know my guide seals are bad since i have a small oil discharge from the exhaust manifold where it mounts to the head from the middle 2 cylinders... so what would you suggesT? start with the timing?

Re: honda d16a6 ticking question
well i dont have alot of money, that is why i was trying to do it myself. i am almost sure if the head has to be pulled off the piston rings should be replaced also...... I just want it to be decent for now, until i can afford the swap... I have a spare head with all internals still in it, its int he same condition as my head, maybe better, and needs new valve seals also, i found those for 32.00 on the net, how much would you charge just to do the head? i can put it on and all that myself, unless you need the engine to see the TDC of the piston

Re: honda d16a6 ticking question
also, how easy would it be to polish the intake manifold? i have a dremel and a bore/honer ... would it be worth my time to polish it up and maybe just enough to open it up a bit for better flow? is it possible?
