I have a 2003 acura RSX. and the engine makes this horrible loud ticking sound, and when i start the car and turn off the car the engine sounds like its winding up and down.
the tachometer reads high also..
what could this be? and how much am i looking at to fix this problem?

switch to synthetic oil and it should get quieter

Engine "ticking" could be any number of things. How many miles are on the car?

well acura and honda use a system called VTEC variable timing sunthing sumthing, get your valve timing system checked.
try changing your oil to syenthic to prevent this from happening and gives you an extra 2HP

does it do it most when its cold? and does the ticking speed/slow with your RPMs? If so, then it's lifter tick, and it wont affect your performance, a lot of cars have it.

Hello. It could be a number of things. It could be low on Oil. Or it could be your rockers.
