Hi Princess-

You helped me out a few years ago with a problem and I sincerely appreciate it. I was wondering if you could help me out with another issues on this post (regarding piston slap on my 05 V6 sedan).

I only have 39k miles on this car and am told that this problem is "normal" on my car due to age by my dealer. My extended Honda warranty expired at the end of March at the 7 year mark.

This knocking noise at cold start up diminishes after a few miles; and I posted the timing belt, wp, etc and listed the parts replaced on my post.

I am not a mechanic at all and just scared that my engine is on its way out. Can you let me know your thoughts or if Honda has TSB on this issue or any other input? I would greatly appreciate your insight.

My original post is here under the Gen 7.
