I don't know if I ever notice before but when I stand beside the engine with/without the engine exposed I hear a ticking sound. I hear it coming from the engine. At times it's a quiet tick while at times it ticks loud (ok NOT that loud.) However from within the driver/passenger seat, I don't hear the ticking just the sound of the engine. And this is puzzling me. So I spoke to my good cousin Toyota mech and he said he has seen alot of Honda cars with knocking engine. He showed me one and I mean you can really hear it ticking. He said something about piston slapping and it's a bad sign. Then it occured to me. I had an Acura dealer fixed some bad valves (yeap ended up paying ~4k for nice and letting a friend drive my car.) So I'm thinking could they have done something to cause the ticking sound.
So my question to you all is this ticking sound natural? My car only has about 68k on it. For those who's NSX do have engine knocking when did you first experience it and what did you do? I searched the forum and only a few (less than 5) posted similar issues.
Thanks for the help.
