Car Forum / Acura Cars / July 20052003,Acura,cl, S type,6 speed
At 12000 mis. engine warm (1hr.running).Stop engine for approx. 15min. Restart engine,and atleast 5or6 lifters,become very noisy.Let idle for about 30 sec. and runs normal.Brought to Acura,tech. said it was probably a lifter adj. They kept car for 6 days.When Ispoke to him he said it was a lifter adj.I said I did not believe that. Since that noise would be constant.The fact is the problem,never reoccured.The car has 23,000 at this time WHAT DID HE REALLY DO. Sounds like he did a valve adjustment. > At 12000 mis. engine warm (1hr.running).Stop engine for approx. 15min. > Restart engine,and atleast 5or6 lifters,become very noisy.Let idle for [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > constant.The fact is the problem,never reoccured.The car has 23,000 at > this time WHAT DID HE REALLY DO. The engine has solid lifters.I don't think "Acura God",has the right idea. Please help. What do you mean? Do you think you adjust non-solid (hydraulic) lifters? The valves ARE adjustable on a 3.2 engine. David Short Acura God > The engine has solid lifters.I don't think "Acura God",has the right > idea. > Please help. Dear god, that is the point.Since they are not hydraulic lifters,why would they make noise intermittenly.What causes them to be noisy, for approx.1 min.and turn back to being silent. Oh wise god.

Oh wise god. I hate to say it because well, I stand behind all of acura’s products, but maybe, just maybe, one of your valves isn’t solid at all, I don’t know if I’d be driving if it makes noise for ’x’ amount of time then ’seems’ to run solidly again... could be doing more damage to your baby than you know... incogneto, that would be the worst.... I would contact as many different acura dealers / certified mechanics / technicians ASAP dood... something that makes noise for a while and then seems normal always turns out bad and ends up costing loads of money.... well, that’s my two cents... it happended to my honda prelude, and it ended up costing me over $1800.00 to repair because I had to replace several parts instead of just the one. Dear ekimevil, thank you ,very much for your understanding and concern.the car is a lease,and also under warr.It occurs to me,since the engine has VVT, that this could be the cause of this problem.The dealer kept the car for a week,and like I said previously,the problem nolonger exists.The reason, for my inquirey,is to satisfy my curiosity,and maybie help other good guys,like you. ANY OTHER THOUGHTS--- ez Sorry I did not read the post carefully enough. My bad! > Dear god, that is the point.Since they are not hydraulic lifters,why would > they make noise intermittenly.What causes them to be noisy, for approx.1 > min.and turn back to being silent. Oh wise god. Dear AG Thanks for the nice reply. I still remaine, without a good answer. Please keep my question in mind. Thanks, for your time...ezed63 Was your car involved in the front camshaft recall?
