when your motor is cold, it will idle higher, probably around 1500, but when it warms up it should settle at around 800-900

yeah, the idle is very normal, all is normal, but is the sound.. the idle when the engine is cold is around 1500 rpm , when it is warm is around 850 - 900 rpm ..

injectors are pretty loud, but it could also be that you need to get a valve adjustment. you need one every 50 or 60,000 miles or something like that. valve adjustments arent hard, but if you dont know anyone that can teach you then go to a shop and have them do it.

i thought too that it could be the injectors be , later i think that too it could be the valves.. a long time (no much) i see a video about HOW-TO rebuilding a engine VTEC (but not B16 :( ) . what happend is that now i dont have tools for do it, but soon i to buy a set tools, i would like to do almost all in my car... but can i run now safe? or is necessary to adjustments the valves?
