How does it not have vtec when D15B engines have a 3-stage vtec? Did you swap the head? If so, please provide further related details.

Have you adjusted the valves yet? Please try to describe the sound in order to encourage helpful responses.

My mistake. I forgot theres the uncommon non-VTEC version. A quick Google search shows that it has the same valve clearance as most D-series engines.

intake: 0.18-0.22 mm (0.007-0.009 in) exhaust: 0.23-0.27 mm (0.009-0.011 in)
