My buddy has a 99 civic 1.6L SOHC. While driving it it started to make a very loud ticking sound. It sounds like its coming from the head on the exhaust side. Also now it will stall at stops sometimes but other wise seems to idle fine. I know the valves on these need adjusted but I didnt think a valve could come out of adjustment that fast. The sevice history is it has over 200,000 had a water pump replaced blower motor replaced and a new radiator. Any help or ideas will be appreciated
Thank you

Its coming from the motor for sure it does it at idle It sounds to me like a valve tick. I dont believe it is an exhaust leak I know those tick as well but it sounds like its coming throw the valve cover. He just told me that he had to add a few quarts of oil to it after the tick started but it didnt go away.
Thank you
