Hello, getting a little frustrated. So I replaced the valve cover gaskets and the one under rocker arm assm. On my 1992 Accord and after reassembled I went to test run. It sounded ok for about 30-45 sec then starts to make a metallic striking sound on distributor side. Sounds like rocker arm or valve hanging up. So I rechecked torque and retested and same thing. I haven’t changed oil yet until I knew it was right. Any help or knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

 

I'd recommend removing the valve cover and see if you got a rocker arm misaligned.
