Not that I know of. Spent most of it's time in Ireland so may have been. The tapping only occurs when it's cold, but it does seem to rise to around 2.5k/3krevs then stop. I thought it was normal tbh as from what I read tapping is rather normal.

Hmmm, I'd have the clearances done and the tensioner checked for piece of mind. I might have been immune to the sound to be honest. I treated mine like a dirty slapper on a daily basis and never had any worrying noises.
I'll post some up in the morning. It's just I keep reading all sorts online and it's gotten me paranoid lol.
Need a car that won't ruin me like the ATR haha.
I think the atr experience has you overly worried.
If its a major issue for you and the car hasn't got a bountiful SH then get a decent garage to do the valves or at least have a look at it and tell you there's no need to stress.
What colour is it anyway, tell us more details about it and stop fretting.

Will they fit into my turbo tractor Civic.... I'm tempted?
I'm still toying with swapping it back for a petrol 8th gen (type S unfortunately the R is not do-able) but I guess this thread isn't for I-vtec eco engines

Vtec is overrated, I've got an ictdi

I want to take mine to Celtic tuning but.... that chocolate clutch!
Wouldn't bother, I took the map back off mine after owning it for a few months whilst it went into Honda for some work, I missed it so little I never added it back on.
It makes for a nice boost in straight line speed, but doesn't fix the fundamental issue of the car still being diesel and having all the response traits that come along with it. That's before you consider clutch
Nice if it's either already on the car or very cheap, not worth the £400 imo.

£400? It's £200 at celtic with a before and after RR. I hear what you're saying about it still being a diesel. The clutch is my big concern as I already have judder when setting off. I miss the petrol hmmm I don't know how to word it - but I miss its free revving nature and whilst the 1.8 I-vtec is hardly a performance lump I think its a damn good drive and very economical for what it is.
Thankfully I don't have a DPF, but I don't do the mileage to justify the diesel anymore. Family friends finally have a concrete delivery date for their new car so the option is there for me to change to an I-vtec one instead.
As Chris says, I'd be happy with an i-DTEC
