Default 1993 Accord noisy engine top end..
Hi, My 1993 Accord auto has only done 40,000 miles, but the engine top end 'rattles' and is quite noisy. Could it be that the tappets need adjusting, or something else? Thanks.

Sure, it could be your valve lash needs to be adjusted. Also could be loose bearings in waterpump, or timing belt tensioner pulleys.

Only 40k miles?? You're way overdue for a timing belt based on years.

Thanks for that, looks like a few options to have a look at. The timing belt has not been changed. Cheers -
