Nope not a possibility I had a compression test and vacuum test done , both were fine, and even the Honda service shop says its not bc its running perfect and the noise isnt a knock, and it goes away, a bent valve would always make noise and the car would run like shit and there would be numerous codes thrown. It could possibly need a valve adjustment but they are not bent. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/help-engine-ticking-bad/245142)._
