We hear a tapping or clicking noise coming from the engine, and it is pretty loud. The mechanic told us that it was from a bent valve. How much does it cost to replace this. This is a SOHC V tec engine. How long does the labor cost, and how hard is this to do yourself. Also, if there are bearing inside the engine, and found in the oil filter, where could these bearings come from. We have had the oil pan replaced, and that is all that I can think of. any suggestions. The mechanic said that the engine is shot, but the car runs really good and other than the noise, you wouldnt know antything is wrong with it. So how much would it cost to get the valve replaced. Its only one valve, I think he said for cylinder four.
