Problem overview

Some Honda Fit owners report experiencing unusual engine noise after a loss motion spring replacement, which may indicate a valve adjustment problem. These owners note that the replacement can lead to potential engine damage or stalling if not addressed properly. Additionally, they emphasize the importance of valve adjustments, as incorrect settings can result in poor engine performance, excessive noise, and premature wear on components. After a valve adjustment, it is not uncommon for some owners to hear new noises, such as loud clicking from the engine bay. Therefore, it is advisable for owners to check the valve adjustment if they notice unusual sounds, and to seek prompt resolution if they experience symptoms like poor performance or excessive noise to prevent further engine damage.
