What is the sound of one valve clapping?
I am trying to understand the sounds I hear from the engine in my 2012 Ridgeline (J35Z5) when I accelerate from low speed around 1500
RPM or climb a hill, a faint clattering under load reminiscient of preignition. One must listen closely. The Honda dealer showed me that this is normal by letting me drive another Ridgeline which was the same. Perhaps the VTEC activating?
