Ok, so I went down to get this ticking checked out today. The first place I went to told me that it sounded like a valve. He said that they needed to be adjusted. I took it to somebody else, and he told me that they are hydraulic, and can't be adjusted because they are automatic. It is a 97 3.0. It's a pretty loud ticking at low rpm's only when it is warmed up. Any Experience with lifters, or anything else breaking under the valve cover out there? Thanks

 

bullshit, its your vavles , get them adjusted for 150-200 only, go bak to the fool that told you about the hydraulic and put your foot up his ass. its the vavles

 

The owners manual suggests getting them adjusted, but only if they're noisy.

 

I just got off the phone with an acura shop about the valves. the guy told me that they can be adjusted, but it takes about 4.6 hours. That would be $360. Another shop told me yesterday about the same price. Is that normal for the v-6?
