Why does my car make a clicking noise when I start it?

I have a 1997 Honda Civic Hatchback with a D16Y8 and it makes a clicking noise when i start it but then it goes away. What could it be? Is my engine blown? I checked the dipstick and it has a good amount of oil. Car is not throwing smoking or leaking oil. I'm scared my engine is blown…

Try getting the valves adjusted.

Time for an oil change. Use a thicker oil next time. If it calls for 5w give it 10w-30.

  • Why does my quad make a grinding noise? Just recently i noticed that my 1990 honda fourtrax 200 rwd was making a grinding noise in the rear. The grinding noise only happens when i turn right. I think it might be the differential but i just wanted some advice on what it might be or what i should do.
  • Why do older cars make that wind up noise when reversing? I have always wondered… It was real prevalent on saturns and hondas. They make like a high pitch winding noise and I just wondered why.
  • 03 Honda Pilot, clicking sound in steering column? When I press the brake, while in park, I hear a click in the steering column. It also clicks when I take my foot off the brake after putting in park and the vehicle does the normal roll back or forward depending on incline. Should I be concerned? It doesn't happen any other time.
  • Honda Rebel makes clicking/grinding noise when shifted into gear I was driving it just fine until my rpms went high and it rolled to a stop. Could not get it to move. When I shift into first it makes a grinding noise and it won't even stall if I use the clutch incorrectly. Anyone know what it is?
