Hey Guys,
I am new to this forum even though I had my 2005 vibe for 3 years and never driven it yet :/
It was bought wrecked and with seized engine at the auction. My dad finally did the body work and he helped me rebuild the engine
so that is why it took so long. But it is making a ticking noise at idle and when in park. The noise disappears when idling in drive. The oil pump,
timing chain, chain guides, tensioner and vvti gear have been replaced with new OEM parts. All internals replaced as well, except crank, block and rods.
Also the head was rebuilt. All the valve clearances are at minimum specs. Intake 0.006in and exhaust 0.010in.
Hopefully someone can help me so that I can finally drive without worries.
Thanks.
