Ticking sound all rpm's
Is it normal for the S2000 that it makes a ticking sound? It sounds like ticking from f.ex. valves, but the valves are recently adjusted. Can anyone describe for me the noise of the timing chain tensioner? Can this be the tensioner? My ticking follows the rpm in speed, but not how high in sound. Tried to search, but didn't get any smarter.. Thanks for any help!

Check out this thread. See if the noise posted there matches your symptoms. Report back and let us know.

Make sure that the valve adjustment was performed correctly. Several owners have reported noise in the valve train after this service only to discover that they were adjusted incorrectly. Be sure to use the correct specifications (0.008-0.010" intake and 0.010-0.012" exhaust), and that the measurement was perfomed in the correct location (between the adjustment stud and valve stem). If you measure the gap between the rocker arm and lifter, as it should be done in some other Hondas, you will have too large a gap and a noisy valve train.

could be the injectors. They're under the black plastic guard, which is over part of the intake manny. They make a very audible click click or tick tick noise which is rpm dependent obviously.

The oil is recently changed (2 weeks ago), and I checked it yesterday. The oil level was fine. Hmmm. I made a video. Her it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VsVr1wkiRc
Hope it's nothing serious or expensive! Does this video help?

Bringing this back.. Want to find out what it is... Read something about a serpentine belt tensioner. What is that? Could it be the cause of my ticking sound? Or what do you guys think about the injectors? Do I have to change them? Can they be worn? Or is normal that they make this sound (if it's them)? Sorry about all these questions, but I'm curious!.. ) I also think that the TCT might start to get worn/needs to be changed..
