This is the same CR-V that the head and some other components where replaced a last summer. Also leaking valve gaskets a couple months ago.

Driving down I70 then starts to get louder. And eventually this. It really didn't sound good going down the interstate.

Fortunately the extended warranty was purchased.

66K. I think the valves where done when they did the head.

This is what it should sound like, not an old Diesel.
 
Yeah I have one of those, in a 2016. Well familiar with the sound. Just not hearing the difference between the two videos, or my own vehicle. Adjusting for the one engine idling at a different RPM than the other.

I'll take some more video in the morning. It's quite clear in person.
 
That ain't good.

I love HONDA's and have owned several from new.

However, the worst vehicles I've ever owned with vibrations happened to be HONDA's. Some vibrations were actually violent. And all were taken into the dealer for a remedy to no avail from the dealership service dept, although they certainly tried.

I stopped buying HONDA's myself for that reason and interior road/hiwy noise. On the other hand, the '15 Civic in my signature(purchased used) has been awesome thus far.

I have the same engine on a different model and it sounds nothing like that. That sounds like a knock to me, and not normal ime. The fact that "the head and some other components" replaced leads me to believe whatever the reason(s) for the repair&replace, they didn't fix the issue or repair not done correctly.

I wish you best of luck getting to the bottom of it.
 
That's our CRV cold start sound



I hope this helps to compare


Btw, We like ours; it's far from a perfect car but we did not spend any $$$ on it other than regular maintenance
 
It reminds me of a sewing machine crossed with one of my old IDI diesels.

Something isn't right. Though you said that this was while driving down the interstate - and engines do often sound different hot vs cold.

Have you done a UOA to see if there's a major fuel issue?

I'd say something isn't right... some of the noises in the oils diesels are related to injectors. This is a DI engine, no?
 
Are there a check engine light? I'm wondering about the VTEC system & such. Have oil change intervals been long? As in, 10,000 mile intervals? Does the car use (consume) oil?
 
Can't tell if its a rod big end slop unless you rev it a bit and unload it - and a rod will be louder when its unloaded. It COULD be an excessive valve lash issue, but if it got louder over a short period of time its likely a bearing. If you had to replace a head for a stuck valve, then you likely damaged a bearing.

Why did you replace the head?

Nobody here is going to fix it for you, so get it to the dealer who provided the extended service contract. Or better yet, call then and have them tow it in.

Good luck, - Ken

Here's some more info on this from another thread 3 mos. ago:

Then I notice a valve cover leak, and this stems back to the VTC actuator repair from last year. The car has obviously been leaking for a couple months. She just went past the power train warranty and they warranty their work for a year. Its been a year and probably 2 or 3 weeks. I'm guessing she doesn't have any warranties to fall back on? It makes me upset that this new of a car is leaking oil and probably wouldn't be if that actuator would have never been replaced.


And...

It probably has been leaking for a while but its not my car and she doesn't check things like that...

The head does not come off for the repair, just the valve cover. Is that what you are talking about?
