kung tik-tik during warm up normal lang. it should go away as the engine warms pero pag hindi nawawala at lalong lumalakas habang umiinit it could be valve tappet clearance. pwede ring electric leak from spark plug cables or distributor cap. pag ala doon, baka broken push rod na...

Bro don't worry about your car yung tik-tik sound is yung clearnance nang valve mo malaki na. What you need to do is to get a mechanic and pa-adjust mo yung valve clearance niya. I-aadjust nang mechanic yan using a gauge na parang spatula na maliit to measure yung gap.

Congrats sa pagbili mo nang sasakyan. Don't worry pre pareho tayo nang experience inadjust lang nang mekaniko ko yung valve clearance and ok na siya tumahimik na ulit yung makina.

Looks like the previous owner did not perform routine maintenance and the car is long overdue for a tune-up. Since you bought it 2nd hand, I would suggest to replace all vital fluids (engine oil and filter, brake fluid, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, and radiator coolant). Check the air filter element, clean or replace if necessary (kung sobrang maitim na, palitan na). Check all brake pads and brake shoes, kung malapit na maupod or upod na, palitan na din.

Yung engine noise malamang galing sa hindi pagpalit ng oil sa recommended interval. Use a good quality lubricant, preferably SAE 10W40 or 20W50 in viscosity. Do not overfill, dapat within the LOW and HIGH marks ng dipstick.

*CivicVTi: got it. i'll do the things na pinayo mo. thanks. i'll post some feedback na lang whatever happens. sana makatulog din ung thread para sa mga car owner na may same problem.

Sir mukhang di nga na-check yung mga liquids mo. Tama si civic change all the vital fluids, if not change all the fluids (including yung nasa radiator mo baka tubig MWSS lang ang gamit) and their corresponding filters. Pa-overhaul mo na din ang radiator para di ka overheat. Advise ko na din change the timing belt since I assume di mo din natanong kung kelan ang huling palit nang timing belt niya. Masmalaking gastos yan pre pag maputulan ka nang timing belt, kaya advise ko change the timing belt na din, and mga kailangan palitan kasama nang timing belt para isang bukasan lang nang makina like water pump and mga seals.

Di mo naman kailangan biglain lahat ito. Isa-isa lang kasi malaking gastos ang magpalit nang mga ito, here's the order of replacement:
1. All fluids and filters (oil, transmission, H2O radiator, oil filter, air filter etc). Isama mo na dito ang tune up, adjustment nang valve.
2. Timing belt - it's must since di mo alam kung napalitan na ba ito o hindi pa, mas malaking gastos ito pag naputol ang timing belt. Kung magpapalit ka nang timing belt isama na yung ibang palitin para isang bukasan lang nang makina.

Medyo masakit sa una ang second hand cars pre kasi second hand din car ko and ito na yung mga napalitan sa car ko nung nakuha ko siya pero pag nagawa mo naman ito pagsisilbihan ka nang car mo nang matagal na panahon.
