Possible knocking noise?

[nicky8668]

Im glad im not the only one who experienced this....I'm so use to it now that I get passengers asking what the noise is...I'm just hoping its normal since its always been there since new for me

Mine has 3 miles when I took delivery and had the same noise. Don’t worry too much, worst case just get a brand new crate engine and drop it in. It’s just a $7000 Honda engine. Enjoy.

And I never keep mine under 2500 rpm on the road, so I don’t really hear anything.

You missed the point. A $7k brand new crate engine is a lot better than spending $4k and get an used engine from a wrecked car. I only buy vehicles which have crate engines available. That’s the sole reason I chose F250 7.3L gas over GM and Ram. When the worst thing happen, you know you can get a brand new engine and restart the game.

I always blamed the lack of balance shafts on the k20c1 engine causing weird resonance/vibration. SO every time something rattles/makes noise I just say to myself "because racecar"

Does it make the noise while idle?
ive driven it more and nothing funky going on besides the noise.

I have the same noise as described. Will be prominent at 1500 rpm and disappears above that. There’s also a similar sound in the engine bay on the left side when facing the engine. I think that’s where its coming from. No performance issues and it just annoys me from time to time. I’ll post a video on where i found it on my engine

My Car does the sound, Whet its Cold . .
Once its getting warm the engine makes less the sound

Mine has been doing it since 200 miles, no over revs, makes the exact same noise but can hear nothing when the door is open. I genuinely think everything is okay. Mine is only below 1500 also.

No, I never took it back to the dealership and I’ve been driving the vehicle with no issues.

If it was a legit knock, it would do it all the time. I noticed when it is cooler outside, I have much less noise. Maybe car is pulling timing during hot weather and causes the noise- either way I am just turning the radio up!

Is everyone with that noise running 0W-20 OEM Honda oil? Noticed after changing to 5W-20 my engine runs better and quieter.

Dumb question, don't slap me, does that void the warranty? Assuming we get it done at a Honda dealership?

You're fine as long as it isn't below -20 degrees F and it meets API certification. It's minor but the cold start flow is better with 0w-20. Being in SC it's a minor difference.
