Type R ep3 strange engine noise!

[Leandro]

As I said on the topic of presentation, I come here to ask for your help/opinion .. is this noise normal in k20 engine? is more noticeable when the car is not too hot!
It´s a kind of knocking in the passenger side( driver´s side in UK).

hard to tell I would get valve clearances checked.

 

[Leandro]

Valve clearences were checked 2 months ago in a honda dealer mate! Oil is shell helix ultra 5w40 and is recent too!

 

[rf55]

Not sure then?

 

[Leandro]

water pump is the original from factory..maybe the bearing in it..or is just like that..thank´s anyway rf55!

BeltbTensioner or get a second opinion on the clearances. Check the chain tensioner too

Thanks stoneyni!
I had thought about the chain tensioner .. but I saw a video on youtube and the noise you hear seems different .. but it is still a possibility ..
There is also a noise inside the car at about 2000 rpm, not knock is more like a bearing noise .. so I'm also convinced that a bearing is damaged ..
