Ok so today it was raining pretty hard, and i hit a pretty deep puddle, nothing happen though, everything was fine, no bog down or anything. After I parked it, and it cooled down, I started it back up to go to the store. When I started it, it made a loud ticking noise, I know Honda's are known to tick when cold, but this tick is way more pronounced. I took the valve cover off, and the top of the valve cover was full of water and oil. I changed the oil and filter and cleaned all the water sludge out, but the ticking remains. So I thought I had bent a rod, but cancelled that out, from going one by one and taking off the spark plug wires, which would relieve the pressure from that cylinder producing the knock. Now I am convinced I bent a valve, but am not sure. If anyone knows what this could be, I would appreciate your advice, I dont want to tear down the engine if its something more simple than a valve. Thanks!!!

Your best bet at this point is a comp. test like NZ said. If your car didn't bog or anything though, imo I doubt you bent a valve.
I did a comp test, reading 120, 110, 130, 115. All is good, sounds like its coming from the number 4 cylinder, but the compression was fine, i really dont know at this point what to do....... I changed the oil again today, and still nothing.....
