Well... The noise that's been pissing me off so much hasn't gone away. It first occured after some spirited driving about 4 months ago and hasn't went away since. The oil hasn't been low on the car as far as I know of and I keep up with the maintenance. Here's what happened when I took it to Honda (Cale Yar.) a few weeks ago.

So I took the car to honda on the work one morning and they said that they didn't know what it was. They also said they would have had to take the head off to find it out and they would have charged me 675. ON the other hand though, it's kind of funny they told me that the three things it could be were the TCT, scored cylinder wall, or a rod bearing gone bad...

I think the motor would have been toasted already if it were any of those. I drove 3 months with that noise. No problems what-so-ever besides the noise, but I haven't driven the car in about 5 weeks. Can you guys give me some input? I'd really like to drive my care again, and I don't necessarily trust any of the mechanics down here either.

Here's the clip...

I had the exact same problem. Sounded the same. Mine turned out to be a scored cylinder wall. The infamous "piston slap" by the sounds of it. Mine ran fine and had no noticable loss of power. Dont wanna say forshure but just lettin you know from my experience. Good luck

 

So... I basically need a new block. That sucks.
