Hello Everyone:

Recently I'd replaced the valve cover gasket on my 94 Civic VX and spark plug seals, due to the fact that cylinder 1 was partially filled with oil. Now, it would appear that I am getting a moderately loud ticking sound from underneath the valve cover. I'm not getting any check engine lights and the car appears to turn over without struggle.

The rear end however is raised up on jack stands due to the fact that I'm now changing the rear brakes....I don't think that would contribute to anything; but I'd just thought I would put that out there.

Also, I'd like to mention that the new gasket applied with black RTV sat for over 24hrs. with everything tightened down in sequence on the valve cover. However; I should probably mention that I did not use a torque wrench and in writing this, I'm starting to think the bolts might be loose, or maybe it's something sticking within the cylinder head.

Any insight would be helpful...Thank you all.
