Damn man! Never a dull moment. How are your oil levels? Have you been driving it, and if so, how much had you before it started knocking?

cdoxp800 · 11-05-2012, 08:50 AM

Man that sucks...Sorry there here

red6spd · 11-05-2012, 08:55 AM

Does not really sound like a knock, more of a tick... IDK? Good luck man.

blackonorange · 11-05-2012, 11:05 AM

Check your oil!!!!!

rAiN · 11-05-2012, 11:18 AM

that dosnt sounds like knocking at all.
or maybe it is but when i had knocking with my civic long time ago, it was more of a thud-knock sound

weiboy718 · 11-05-2012, 11:51 AM

Damn! That does sucks big time! Sorry to hear and it does sounds pretty loud.

Mkai0 · 11-05-2012, 12:08 PM

It does sound a little loud..Pop your hood and take another video from the top of the engine bay.

Nixlimited · 11-05-2012, 01:04 PM

I am fairly positive that is not knocking. Sounds like valve train noise. Knocking typically happens under load and is less of a tick-tick-tick sort of noise. That sounds too rhythmic to be knocking.

elperuano · 11-05-2012, 01:53 PM

Sorry to hear that, whatever it may be, doesn't sound good at all.

Mitco39 · 11-05-2012, 01:55 PM

Just so I am on the same page as everyone. Knocking on these engines typically means a bent rod right?

elperuano · 11-05-2012, 01:56 PM

^yes, means its doomed if there's knock.

binary0x01 · 11-05-2012, 01:59 PM

That sucks man. Nightmare...

ANMVQ · 11-05-2012, 02:22 PM

O first to answer everyone at once. Oil level is full, had it changed last week . I can not hear it from the top of the motor only down behind the passenger tire. i like some off the replies its not knock. But if it was the timing chain should I hear it up top also?. And yes the noise is there at idle but will get louder driving.

Dembflyr · 11-05-2012, 02:35 PM

Maybe an exhaust leak. Have you removed the O2 sensors? Or have you had the headers out? It doesn't sound like a knock to me either but it's tough to tell on video.
