.Help with strange noises
1996 GSR 136k, normal bolt ons, nothing new for about a year.
I have owned numerous hondas, and have always noted how their engines kind of "ping" like a little diesel engine at idle and low RPM.
I started to notice that my car's ping is getting pretty loud. Kind of like a little clapping noise that speeds up as do the RPM's. The car seems to run as always. It isn't burning oil or anthing, or overheating. I put my head down near the engine and it is loudest right over the top of the valve cover. It's like a loud "tapping clap". I am not sure if it sounds like one cylinder in a cylce, or something else. Nothing bad is happening yet, but if I'm about to loose a cylinder or something, I'd like to know beforehand.
Any ideas?
Help. Thanks
