ok, when I give my car a healthy dose of fuel, there is a "ticking" under the hood. kinda sounds like lifters or valves, it's happened on all my honda's (3) and my toyota in the past. I know you all have this too...drive with the window down and you'll hear it. What is it and can it be fixed?

Its probably a misadjusted valve clearance.
I just redid mine the other day and its a lot smoother now.

When it happened on my crx, I adjusted the valves and it kept doin it until 2 weeks later and the cam pulley blew off the cam and caught on fire.....don't ask me how
