any chance you could video the engine bay and get a sound wav, youtube link?

while driving or on idle?
coz cant reali film the engine bay while driving haha and it only dose it when driving

could bent valves cause pinging or is that a little more distinct noise lol

What is timing set at on idle? And no bent valves won't cause it to ping..

BTW are you sure it is pinging for starters? example. does it sound like a tin can with coins inside shaking.. thats the closes example of pinging noise i can do..

I would be looking into the igniton side of things.

familiar with the term arching out? turn on the engine in the dark and check for sparks from the leads, haven't seen many cases in Hondas, alot in cars with long insulation on the leads (Nissan Z cars I've owned in the past)

big long shot but never know as I can't hear the noise lol

I remember my car was making a pining kinda noise, then it turned into a knocking noise and then a tractor noise and then just a loud bang lOl... my harmonic balancer came off, maybe check bottom end too?

hmm well if the motor blows it aint such a big deal coz it gives me an excuse to put a b18 in it but still would like to no and how do i check my harmonic balancer???????

well thankfully my motor didn't blow, we were able to save it and instead of a 3k rebuild it was $300 to replace the balancer lOl.

You would probably need to get it up on a hoist if possible, not sure where it is located on your car..

What happened with mine is a key or blot holding it in came lose and took a chunk out of my HB and shredded all my drive belt, lOl I opened the bonnet and my belt was sitting on top the engine! Have a look through my previous threads if you wanted more info:

lmfao, probably right then :P

if it only happens when your driving, maybe its just some kind of lose metal in your engine bay or under the car thats flapping about?

does the sound get faster as you drive quicker?
