Hey guys! So, my problem is exactly as it says in the title. I bought the car 4 months ago, with this horrible tapping sound, I wasn't too worried since I've noticed that it comes from the top part of the engine. Drove it like that all winter so now I've decided to replace a few parts and also have the valves adjusted. I went to an acquaintance of mine, a reputable Honda mechanic in my area and basically let the guy do his thing. After he adjusted the valve lash, I drove it like that for 2 weeks and then the sound reappeared. He didn't say anything like "dude your head is trash" or "you should really rebuild this engine/head". This weekend I'm almost certain that I will buy another head, and get it rebuilt and maybe throw it on the car some day in the near future, but should I first attempt to adjust them myself and see what happens? Here's a link of how the engine sounds on cold starts. It's worse in the video than in reality. (and those are KMs not Miles) Maybe you can give me some advice. Thanks in advance.
