Engine makes sound (Like a stick hitting a fan blade)
2005 Honda Civic
4 cyl, 1.7 L, Automatic
260,xxx miles
After starting car in the morning about 2 minutes in I hear a clicking sounds from the engine. Sounds like a stick hitting a running fan.
Fan blades clear of obstructions, nothing looks out of place.
Sounds goes away after about 15 minutes of driving. Increases with throttle, decreases when off the throttle. And I have noticed a slight decrease in power as well.
I am due for an oil change, but checked the level and all is well, just dirty.
Seems to be recent oil/buildup around the head gasket (looks kind of wet), but oil looks fine, not milky, no smoke from exhaust, etc, in terms of a blown head gasket.
Maybe a cylinder sticking and once warmed up the sound goes away?? Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thank you!
