clicking engine - normal?

Before I start, pardon my ignorance.. heh

Anyway, I just picked up my TSX today, and when i stuck it in my garage, I noticed that when the engine is idling, there is a clicking noise coming from the engine every few minutes, at what seem to be regular intervals.
Is this normal? Or should this be a cause of concern?

The only thing I could think of are the valves making the noise. But then again, your car is BRAND SPANKING NEW. Drive it more first. See what happens!!!

btw. Congras on your purchase

i'm guessing it's probably the "silent" timing chain(and normal on everyones car)

if you listen close i bet the sound is comming from right under the plastic cover on the front of the engine, and that would be fuel injectors.
