What could a slight clicking coming from my motor when I accellerate be caused by. BTW, I just adjusted me valves, I think it could have to do with that... Thanks

Try checking the adjustment again.

Would the clinking be because it was too tight, or too loose?

is the ticking abnormally loud? most motors will have a ticking to them, and it will just get louder when you need to adjust the valves. Is the ticking quieter than before you adjusted the valves? also, running a good synthetic oil helps with ticking quite a bit. Mobil one works for me ;)

Ok, I think I might not have tightened up my valves good enough when I adjusted them. It really isnt abnormaly loud but is there. I already use Mobil 1 15w 50.

Also could a dirty air filter be causing it to be lean?

a dirty filter would cause it to run richer

OK I re-adjusted them and when I fired it up it idled awesome. But then a bad smell started coming out of the cylinder head. Is this normal, or is it bunring up the valves or something like that?

Mine has a little tick to it. I took it to the Honda shop and asked them and they said a little tick is normal. Bad gas can cause an abnormal tick or so im told.
