It's about a noise my car makes. I only hear it with the top off really. I just bought it in November so I don't know if it's been there all along and I didn't notice or what. I also don't know if it's normal. I'm not great at this really, so I'm confused.

It's like a whirring or clicking going on. Can't tell if it has to do with the DOHC VTEC. My roommate has an S with an Si engine, but that does me no good, but he thinks it could be normal. I have a AEM CAI on there and that's about it right now.

I don't know, that's the problem. I only hear it with the top off though, so I don't know if it's been there all along.

If it were a VW, I would say it's the common VW valve tap. But I don't wanna think it's that.

That's what I mean, is it normal? And what is it that ticks in B16s?

So I shouldn't really worry then either right?

I wouldn't worry about it
here's a quote

Thank you much man, saved me some worrying.

What would I do without Derek and HS?

I thought I heard it coming out of there, but I didn't wanna say because I wasn't sure.

Just glad it's not valves.

Thanks again man, you've been my hero today :bow:
