Default Clicking noise

Recently my ZC has been making this clicking noise that goes with the rpms. A shop told me that hondas are just loud and not to worry about it, but i am. I was thinking its the valves or something in the head but why would it make this sound and is it serious. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah i have oil, I changed it about 800 miles ago with 10w30. I just checked it and its still full. The car is very well maintained, But i have to admit the thing has seen its fair share of races. :P

could someone post up what the clearance is for the dohc zc. I dont remember what i set them to but i would remember if i saw them. Just to be sure i got it right. Im going to be driving to astoria tommarow to use my dads lift to put on new shocks and hopefully solve this problem while im at it. So if someone has any ideas post em up plz.

clearence depends on cams too, stock cams?

also, my d16a6 has that clicking noise too. I think its just the valves opening and closing, I dont hear it unless i have the hood up and im close to the valve cover. Did u add an intake recently? that would make it more audible.
