Engine knocking - lifters ??
I have noticed knocking in the engine when the car starts up when its fully cold, like over night. I still have 1 year left on of my warranty power train only... I change oil each time @10% and when I get it changed, I make sure to get it from bottle, with cleaner Mobile ... My car has 77k Miles on it... wonder what the f its causing it.
After I drive it for a sec, the noise goes away.. like oil got everywhere and its quiet... it only does it when its cold... drives me crazy! No leaks, no nothing....
Suggestions?

Looks like I found my own problem. wonder if anyone else had the same issue.
Yes the belt tensioner is most likely your noise, its common for the v6 honda's once they get up in the mileage as oil from the tensioner slowly leaks past the seal and it looses some of its tension and starts smacking back and forth since it has play in it. my accord hybrid did this earlier this year along with 4 other customer cars' of mine i have seen. Once it warms up noise goes away as it gets better with the ambient heat of the engine warming it up.

Two different noises. A failing tensioner is much louder and more obnoxious than the standard J series ticking. Sounds like a bad pushrod lifter or exhaust leak. Mine sounds horrible till it warms up. Will be replaced next month at the 105k service.
