wierd noise from motor from B20Z

[mccoy1178]

Hey guys I wanted to see if anyone has experience this wierd noise from their motors. it goes away in high rpms but around idle to 3k, it sounds like the power steering is low on fluid but I filled up my power steering reservoir and it still makes the noise. I even took off the power steering belt to see to see if my power steering pump is bad and it still makes that noise. The oil level is okay in the motor, the oil light only comes on when it starts off cold and goes off immediately. I kinda have two ideas that might make that noise:

1) timing belt to tight so it worn out my tensioner OR
2) oil pump is goin bad

If u guys can help me on this, Ill be grateful! So honda techs, hook me up!!

thanx in advance IA

5HRS?

I could have found it out in 20mins, I guess that is why I get paid those big bucks!
