Wow... im not sure what to think... OK... My engine is 78000 miles old... I just noticed that btw 1k and 2k rpms my car makes funny rattling noises... someone tell me if this is common or what... is this somethin easy to fix... im almost excited bcz this would give me a reason to build my engine!!!! Im also pissed bcz its a damn Honda... its supposed to go 4eva...??? HLEP PLZ!!!! Thanks.

 

what do you have done to your engine, mod wise, cat-back, headers, intake???

that would give us a better idea of what you are having problems with...

 

you have too many angry hampsters in there, need to remove a few of them.


can you be a little more descriptive of the noise and where it's coming from?

 

ok... the only mods are intake (3in. generic), cat-back exhaust (2 1/4in. apexi Dunk)... ok the noise sounds like its from the engine... it is like a whirring click... i dunno it almost sounds like a bad piston maybee.... i dunno... BLAAHHHHHH!!!!!! anyways... what do yall think...

 

is the noise coming from the head or the block?

 

i dont know... it might not even be the engine, but it only happens btw 1k and 2k rpms... so im guessin its like the crank/rods or something...

 

Might be a heatshield rattling. Check that out first.

 

5speed or Auto? The Auto transmission in Prelude is shot and when i start the car it makes a semi loud rattling noise but it's something in my transmission....Damn Autos.

does the ratteling get faster as the rpm's increase?

 

i think he has the same problem as i do, current setup on signature, and it happens only when i am in the 1.5 - 2.5 k rpm range, it is a rattling coming from the union of the header to the cat or somewhere around there, but then again, i have to double check my bolts and see what is wrong.

mine did the same thing at low rpm's you
could feel the vibration, turned out to be the heatshield,
nothing a little screwdriver couldn't take care of

If none of the above clears it up has the timing belt been changed?
