No i didnt leave the car overnight. They did a test drive and they said valve is loud. So they had to wait for it to cool down and work on it.

Ya im going to guess they did a valve adjustment while the motor was still warm. Its supposed to be done on a cold motor. They should have kept it overnight. Your valve are probably all out of wack now.

update of my car from valve adjustment:

so i got my car back from mitsubishi dealership. they did my valve adjustment there. i got it back and engine started smoking when i got to our parking. so took it back and they said it might be a oil that spill when they open the valve cover. so anyways i said ok but another thing is that the car shakes so much. so they said the technician is already gone and maybe they can check it tmrw. so i did that and took my bros car to go vic. as soon as he was drving it engine light came on. so took it back again and they said that the guy who did f@#k up on the adjustment. so yeah everything works and also of a sudden the vsa check engine light came on but didnt know whats the problems was and they had to took it to honda and they reseted the ecu. so anyways i got my car back and drove it for a couple weeks but i think the valve is back. so i dont know what going on. i have a vid of the engine video and show it to you guys. i wanted to take it to someone else that know honda.

any recommendation guys. thanks

Why are you continuing to take your car to Mitsubishi? I think that is your problem.

So does the car run good now? I can hear ticking in your video but it seems to be louder over the injectors, that is the exact same as my car and others I have heard.

I honestly don't think you need to worry about it. Your car is still fairly new.

Maybe the only thing you should be concerned about is what the Mitsu tech did. Seriously, I wouldn't ever recommend taking an s2k to a Honda dealership, let alone a Mitsubishi dealer. So I agree that it wouldn't be a bad idea to take it to a shop that is familiar with s2ks. Have them do a quick once-over. I'm sure a simple search will bring up some names.
