Default 99 civic Si D15b swap down shift rattle

Hello, have a 1999 Civic Si D15B Vtec swap. i just had the head gasket, timing belt, water pump and every seal sealed in the engine. i noticed when im accelerating slowly or down shifting i hear a rattleing sound kind of like a bearing spinning around, Then when im in neutral it will rattle a bit then stop.. Anybody know what this is? Gets pretty annoying. it's a very fast paced rattle sound.

Check the exhaust heat shields.

There are other exhaust heat shields. Pretty easy to check them.

I had a similar problem after my b16a swap. My rattle was coming from around the mid pipe heat shield.

Nah, it's the input shaft bearing in the tranny rattling.
