With 280k on it, I cleaned out the EGR ports as well as changed the lower cylinder head seals (bottom of spark plug wells) due to leaking oil into the wells. I had previously done this on my son in law’s 92 Accord and so was primed to do mine. I removed the rocker arm assembly carefully from outside inward. The portion of the cam holder which actually has the hole for the top distributor anchor bolt had long been snapped off (don’t’ ask). So when I had the assembly off I thought to take cam holder off and attempt JB welding it back on. When I went to reassemble the rocker arm assembly back onto the intake, it rocked a bit more than the last job. The far left bolt near the cam seal and timing belt would not start unless i tilted it to right. So I did that and then rested it back center, onto seals and tightened from center to outward to 22 ftlb./12 ft.lb, Assembled and cranked, ran good at first but then starting clicking very loud. Immediately shut it off, pulled valve cover and rechecked and restarted. No clicking at first but then clicking returned, loud. Immediately shut it off. Looks like I may have warped the assembly when removing? Being one step removed from a newbie. I humbly ask what the clicking might be? Burnt valve? What might be the typical damage in this scenario? btw – car ran great except for clicking. Thanks
