'02 Honda 400ex ticking noise

hey guys this 400 of mine in 2003 was goin full speed wen the drain bolt on the oil tank came off all the oil ran out but my dad shut it off before serious damage could be done..... it ticks up high and if u hammer on it it ticks really loud as it gains speed and then wen u get it in 5th it acts like its in 4th still any idea wat this is

Your piston is hitting your valves... probaly going to have to replace valves, or at least get your valves adjusted, but they might be bent now since the piston was hitting it... if thats what it is.

ck says to get the kibble brand valves and guides and you should be ok with that

ok i will check into tht..... so i need intake and exhaust valves with guides and the kibble brand?

yes, kibble brand for all

take the rocker cover/cam cover off .. an make shure that the rockers and sub rockers are moving freely .. and go from there ... they can stick really quickly from loss of oil

stick for tht long of time lol

From my experiences, stay away from KibbleWhite. Yes they will stick open.

I dont know much about the best brand to get, they all gotta be somewhat good if they still make their product, so the brand isnt a big deal. I would go just look for your best price. I did the valve job on mine and it was like 18$ for one an 26$ for the other and they worked fine when it was running
