AP1 S2000 Engine ticking - Stumped!!

I have a bit of a shameful update for everyone, as I wondered how quickly the coolant filled in the cylinders even with excellent compressions, and went over all my coolant lines again. I still didn't see any problems, until I stumbled across this post:

Seemed like a decent likelihood I skipped over that so long story short I left the car at Honda for a couple of days to clean out the engine and and give the whole build a once over to make sure everything was done right. Picked it up yesterday and it is running and sounding absolutely beautiful, Honda ran a leak down and compression test and said it passed with flying colors. My service advisor personally put 53 miles on it to "verify" it was running good, but what I heard from one of the shop hands was that he decided to take my car home for a night! Either way, I am finally able to enjoy my car and have a lot of work planned for it in the future, starting with a new set of seats being swapped in as I speak.

Just thought I'd provide an update to everyone that after a couple weeks of driving, I've had absolutely no problems with the engine swap whatsoever and the car is running, driving, and handling beautifully. The P.O. had a set of brand new 225's mounted on all four wheels, which isn't a staggered setup and I wasn't happy with the condition of the stock wheels. I purchased a set of SSR Integral GT1's with 225/245 Bridgestone Potenza S-03 tires for only $400. Also swapped in a very clean rip free set of seats.

Glad it ended up right side up. I like the wheels. Very nice.
