i did the same thing just high milage motor all together mine was is like 1300 and i pick it back up the 26th of this month(gah)
 
i thought my motor was cheap

well i found a used motor from japan with under 50k on it!! i got it for 760 after tax. got it dropped for 600 after fluids n parts from this mechanic i bowl with who works at honda. after having to buy all three shot motor mounts which were about 450 total cost for my engine was about 1900. which i couldn't complain about at all considering the quality of the motor. she runs like a champ now. better than before especially with those new motor mounts. but hey now i know what rod knock sounds like so maybe i can catch it before it blows next time!! lol

But you said...(lol)

Sorry. Truly. I do hope you get it worked out.
 
I have a cx-9 that had the same problem. I bought it used with 69,000 mi. The previous owner had got it with 39,000 so he real didn't much but oil changes. So shortly after I had purchased it I started to hear the noise coming from the engine. So I started to look on line to find help and found the forum that has good post. So to make a long story short I fix the problem with the noise in me engine not really realizing that I fix it. I planned a trip to Las Vegas and I diced to give the car a tune up as I took the spark plugs they where over gapped and the pvc was not working properly. I replaced the spark plugs and pvc used castrol synthetic 5 quarts and topped off with half a quart of marvel mystery oil. Drove it around for a day no noise the drove it to Las Vegas and still no noise. I hope the helps someone.
