Honda civic 90 lx 1.5 weird sound - YouTube

Heres a link to the video. If anyone has any idea to where to look it, it would be much of help. Also I found this bolt and I dont not know where it came from. Also another problem is that when I switch from neutral to park, their is this weird clicking sound.

And also I found this bolt near the rear engine mount area, does anyone know where it goes??

Is that a 12mm bolt??

The only bolt I can think of that have phillip head is the distributor bolt. Check your distributor.

It sounds kind of like a loose belt or a bad accessory bearing. Does it also make the sound if you rev the engine in Park, or only when the car is moving? Turn on all the lights, air conditioner, etc. for the rev in park test.

Nopes and will do that.

Heres what I done so far

-Re did the tranny fluid, no metal shavings or anything bad
-put the car in drive and while pressing on the brake and reving up( not much move ment in the engine) so engine mounts are good
-lifted the car up on each side to move the wheel to check for the wheel bearing, moved but not as much
-lifted the front of the car, put it in drive went to about 60mph and no sound.
