Ticking...

Tried searching in the 4g forum.... didn't really find anything...

So I've noticed this on both my preludes(92,96)...
There is a ticking noise coming from the engine bay.... seems like the right side... near the head/valve cover.... Doesn't go away... goes up with rpms... Is this normal?
I can take a video/audio if needed....
Thanks

H23? They're just loud. Mine got loud around 110k. Valves are adjusted perfectly. Just the way it is.

It's pretty simple you could do it yourself, I am willing to bet there is a FAQ or how-to write up.
