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?

Man that sucks...Sorry there here

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

Check your oil!!!!!

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

That sucks man. Nightmare...

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.

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.
