Valves Tapping?

[JDBenson]

Got a stock 93 Civic Hatch non si. When I start the car for about the first 2 minutes the valves will start tapping. I use Lucas Oil Stabilizer and Royal Purple 5-30. The car has 224k, the timing belt snapped at 187k so i had new valves and retainers installed and headwork done when the timing belt and water pump were replaced. Curious if anybody has any info on what might be wrong. Also the car does seem to burn a little bit of oil.

it may need a valve adjustment

Cool. Who would you recommend for the work? Also would it be better to just throw in a D series swap and call it a day?

mainstream performance.... if u just put all the stuff in the head no... unless it smoking and ur losing oil alot..

[JDBenson]

its not loosing oil at a fast rate but the motor does have over 200k... do you know if they keep motors there in the shop that they could do the swap for me?

Its relatively easy to do yourself. Just get some instructions and go to town on it. Just double and triple check it if its your first time doing it.

i meant to say... valve adjustment is not that hard. i dont know what i was typing that day. but thats why i asked if he had thought about doing it himself instead of paying a shop to do it
