Honda B20B engine

Anyone know if the tappets on these are hydraulic or regular? The engine in SWMBO's '96 CRV sounds a bit tappety, although I've heard this is not unusual on Hondas.

Cheers!

The D series in my last car, a civic had adjustable tappets rather than hydraulic, although the larger engine that goes into accords i think is hydraulic. Strangely enough the particular B series that went into the crv at that time wasn't fitted to anything else. If it has a service manual look at the 72k service to see if one of the jobs is "adjust pappets" if not, then its probably hydraulic.

Now why didn't I think of that?? Thanks!
