Quick questions regarding 93 accord lifters

[Firstoff]

So, first off I had my oil pan replaced and, managed to go to an apparently sketchy shop, they decided to do whatever with my lifters, now they make a grinding tapping noise, a friend of mine told me is have to get the replaced is this true or is it an easy fix? If they do need to be replaced any specific brands that are better or anyone's had good experiences with?

[wed3k]

f22's were never offered with lifters.

93 accord lx? 4cil?
That's what my friend had told me when he listened, he said it was the lifters? So then what else could it be? When I accelerate it makes a grinding noise and holds if I hold that speed, (not around gearshifts)

[wed3k]

they have rockers and the valve clearance/lash can be adjusted.

they need to be adjusted cold, im guessing the person didn't do it correctly which is pretty common.

Perhaps your friend means the rocker arms? The tapping you hear may be the valves, or it may be the injectors (our injectors are quite noisy).

Regardless, that stuff is all in the head... nowhere near the oil pan. The should should never have gone near your head to replace an oil pan.

Do a valve adjustment (or have it done by a reputable shop). Do an oil change with the proper weight oil for your engine, using a quality brand (non-synthetic.)

Sweet thanks ^.^" sorry if its an idiotic noob question, its my first car and
I've never been taught anything about em so I'm learning on the go, great to know its a simple fix thanks for the help

[deevergote]

It MAY be a simple fix... if the valves are the source of the noise.

And noob questions are always welcome, as long as you show that you're willing to actually think for yourself, and learn from the answers given to you by people that DO know what they're talking about (both of which you seem willing to do... unlike many others... )

Personally I would drop the oil pan again and see if they screwed with the bottom end.. Maybe check the oil for metal shavings. Did they spray cleaner on any bearing surfaces and not relube them?

Just scary... don't drive much until you figure it out or you might as well start saving for the h22 swap.

[deevergote]

Adding oil should relube any internal part that needs lubing. I assume that oil has been added prior to starting.

You never know, he went to a shady shop. Also if you spray your main bearings with cleaner you can spin a bearing before the oil gets back through the pump to the oilers.

he might be thinking about the rockers ?

im not sure how this physically possible with the crankshaft in...

[wildBill83]

There is a clearance gap for the oil to lubricate the shaft, degreaser/cleaner gets in there easier than oil. Trust me it is possible, just don't ask how I know.

My guess is they tried to clean the the oil pickup and windage tray (if equiped) and overspray gets in there.
