FL5 I money shifted twice....

[yzhan01]

That is EXACTLY the issue I and many others have. It’s not a spun bearing, all four of mine replaced and noise persists.

Almost inaudible on a cold start but warm is very noticeable. I’ve noticed the noise for the past 7k miles, since the money shift.

Others have had the noise since their cars were brand new and haven’t money shifted. If you just search “Type R knock 1500rpm” you’ll find a few threads. Both FL5 and FK8 and I’ve even seen Pilots with a very similar sound. No one seems to know exactly what it is but injectors seem to be the most widely “accepted” answer

Yea - did a lot of research after hearing the noise and I saw a whole bunch of owners who have similar sounds (especially the ones with videos). I think there was one case where the owner actually had a spun bearing but pretty much everyone else just had the sound (some new some old) with no further issues. I’m hoping this is the case and maybe the noise was always there and I’m just paranoid but will find out on Wednesday if i have any major issues. My money shift was pretty brutal too from top of 3rd to second. I’m only at 3K miles and would be tragic to have to get major engine work done.

Hopefully all went well?
