is it a knock, a rattle, or a tick?

knocks are NEVER ok.

rattles are usually something outside the engine, but can sound like the engine itself. exhaust parts, brackets, dropped bolts, etc.

ticks are usually be fixed pretty easily. valve lash adjustment.

If its just a tick, Honda's allways have a little valve Tap, but if its a knock thats a bad thing.
