99 GSR w/ 29k miles has engine knock, WTF!!

Sup everyone! I'm new here. Anyway, have a 99 GSR and once I got to 10k miles I noticed there is a faint knock when the car is fully warmed up. Is this normal B18 behavior?

Thanks!

i think you may have confused the "knock" for a "tick" which is either the valves or the fuel injectors. perfectly normal

It's definately not the valve train, that's a whole other beast in itself.

I'm just hoping it's not detonating!!!!! I have not changed the timing at all so I don't know why it would be, but I guess you never know.

Most GSR's make a slight ticking noise,people always ask me and other friends with hondas if theres a problem with the motor.
