i bought my 2003 acura rsx from a saturn dealer last year. just recently its been making this horrid ticking sound. well my mechanic says the valves are messed up which has caused holes in the camshafts (which will cost me like $2500 to fix) BUT i found on some acura forums this is a typical issue with the year and make of my car. my car is NOT under warranty, how do i get this covered? and its not been a recall either.

Find another tech to adjust your valves. The camshafts have holes from the valves? Uhhhhh no. If it were so bad as to have worn your cams out, then the car would not RUN!Get a second opinion, preferably from a qualified ASE Acura mechanic.

This is not a typical issue with the RSX. They are not perfect but there are no cam problems with this engine.
