Hi, I got a sort of light ticking sound coming from the motor. It's the stock 2.2 non vtec, (dunno the name for it).. its not that bad, but the it drives me nuts i wanna find out what it is.

It usually happens more after the car warms up, not on a cold start for some reason. It comes and goes, any ideas? it has 153 000kms on it.

I don't know much about it...but I'm pretty sure ticking is a sign of valves sticking. Maybe try some Lucas oil treatment to loosen em up. But like I said I'm not too knowledgeable, but maybe it'll help you look in the right direction.

Get a valve lash adjustment. Its not difficult and shouldn't cost you much
