Don't even hit the start button until a complete properly assembled tct is in place.

This is your chance to NOT destroy your engine, you've been more than warned and helped.

Look on the entire top side of the subframe, and on top of the lower plastic under covers. This is where missing tct parts usually wind up.

Ok guys I decided to do it myself. So I took off the cover for the chain and found the rest of the TCT parts in there. Going to retract the tct and put it back. Question is. I started the motor twice when this happened for less than 1 min. Will my timing be off?

Check by lining up the cam marks and the yellow notch on the crank pulley.

Yeah just research it and its in line so the timing wasn't off. Hopefully when I put everything back it'll be running

Yeah nothing should have fallen in. Im not missing anything. Unless when I took off the vtec solenoid there suppose to be a spring and metal peice that slide out with it right? I just got the cover and the spring off. Or I may be wrong. I might take it to Honda to take a look

Sounds to me like you took the timing chain tensioner (TCT) off, not the VTEC solenoid. There is no cover or spring on the VTEC solenoid. The VTEC solenoid is just three bolts and the whole thing comes off with a gasket behind it. The TCT has a cover held on with two bolts and then the whole thing is held on with two more bolts. Then it slides out and has several components on the inside of it like some springs, a worm gear, etc.

If you removed the TCT its likely that you didn't get it back together and installed correctly and the noise you are hearing is the timing chain rotating with no tension on it. Don't start the engine until you figure out what you actually removed.

thats exactly what i was thinking
