I need someone to come out the closet.

Hey Dark_5.0,

The ticking was probably the valve lash needing adjustment. Honda recommends doing that every 15k or so.

As far as the VTEC upgrade, you should check out vtec.net. They're currently beta testing a whole new setup, but it seems pretty stable. Go to the forums on beta.vtec.net. Post your question there. They're really cool people, much like those here on Mustang Works.

You might get the best answer if you direct your post at Shawn Church. He has a supercharged CRX and is VERY knowledgeable about Hondas. Tell 'em richd sent you, although they'll probably say "Who?". hehe

Good luck, sounds like an interesting project.

Rich D.
