Id say valves just need to be adjusted. Does it go away after a certain RPM?

Just take it to a dealer or do it yourself. Not at all hard to do.

If you think yours is bad, you should hear my "valve tap." Crazy SOHC cam FTW!

It's the valves that tap. The h22 in my lude does it too. Honda sets the spec from the factory a little on the loose side. I don't know what the spec is on your car but on mine if I pull back about .001-.002 on the settings and the tap should quiet down, if not go away.

not only does honda set them loose but the metal wears(compresses, whatever you want to say).
