Knock Knock....What's there???
So my 03 EX has what sounds like a really light knock when I rev the engine lightly. It happens when I rev it up to about 2K-2.5K and the revs come down. I hear the sound on the way down. It sounds like a really light knocking sound....like 3 or 4 knocks. It has been happening for awhile and my Honda store says they haven't heard it, but even my fiance who knows jack about engines has heard it. Is this something I need to be concerned about, or is it just a random annoyance?
I need TP for my bunghole

how many miles do you have on the car ?
It maybe time to have the valves adjusted.
if you hear knocking sounds it could be the valves.

Rep Power: 0 I think that somewhat normal, I have 43,000 on my 01 ex and i hear it. I don't think it's anything major, if it was youd know it. I would bet that if I stapped my car on the dyno it would still put power down like it was brand new. Any other opinions?
