2011 Civic DX Ticking/vibration
 

Hello
bought a 2011 civic dx with 76k, oddly im noticing the engine to be a lot more noisier/audiable than my 2006 honda odyssey with 190k

Im hearing a ticking, very light knock but goes away if i increase the rpm by 200 or so or evening turning the wheel. Im also feeling vibration/light shake by the engine oil cap. Oil smells good along with the color

thoughts?

No i dont see it in the carfax or documents i received with the car. Cost wise, what am i looking at? Id like to rule out its that

thanks

probably around $100 give or take, you can diy it, just need tools and patience, good idea to change the valve cover gasket + related items because you need to remove the valve cover to adjust the valves

Don't compare it to the V6, those are pretty quiet engines to begin with.

The 1.8 in the Civic isn't all that quiet IMO
Find a similar Civic to compare with. Maybe go to your local walmart or home depot parking lot and stalk one until the owner comes out of the store.


Make sure the recalls have all been completed too
