nayilsi, yes better oil does make a bit of difference. I'm using amsoil 0-20W syn. ever since i used seafoam on the engine last month and changed my oil with the new amsoil, the noise level has die down quite a bit. I may very well be lack of lubrication, but i'll crack the engine open tomorrow just to make sure everything is ok. My car is over 45K, so it's out of warranty long ago. I bought the service manual for my CAI installation, so if i follow the instructions on valve check, i'll be alright.
On a side note, the CAI and new Denso spark plugs did make a lot of difference in throttle lag. Love our 5 speed auto, i'm getting 38mpg on purely highway(drove down to virginia last month). Getting only 25ish mpg on city though. Had my transmission flush @ 40K, new oil, new sparkplug; so i'm thinking i'm losing compression because of the valve. We'll see if my valve adjustment make any difference. Thanks for the response.
did you guys hear about the euro civic? IT IS NICE! they got a diesel version too (52mpg). Bitches!
