I had a hydraulic lifter collapse once. I thought it was a knock/tick from the top of the motor also. But all I had to do was rev the engine a bit and it built pressure again and it’s fine 🙂 But it sounds like in your case, it’s getting worse. ---

Isn’t there a few professional mechanics (meaning do it for a living) on here? Can’t you guys help a girl out have a look to see what it could be without charging her $80/hr like most dealerships would. To me it almost sounds like she’s describing lifter knock…my old Subaru was very loud and it was a rotational noise (obviously). But I’m no engine expert. Trish, go to Autozone and get your ECU checked for codes. You could have pending or ghosts codes. Ya never know? ---

Well Mohawk Honda is telling me they are “confident” that its bent valves, and they said the only way thats caused is by over revving, and its not covered under warranty. So I asked did is there a over rev code? and he said no so that to me means I DID NOT over rev it ?! Im so irritated and he said over revving is the only way, which I think is incorrect bc I have variable valve timing, I think its possible for the timing to be off and cause it to mess it up that way right? I dont know Im so pissed right now I just wish I never bought a damn piece of shit honduh:’(:’(:’( ---
