Yes it is realy easy to hear.. Its a slow clanking in the engine. I just helped my buddy replace on one his honda. Stock they come with automatic cam chain tensioners which go bad after awhile usually with higher mileage. Also with everything u said with having power and no smoke or adverse performance only sound it def sounds like that. Its more annoyihng if anything. When you replace it dont get another automatic chain tensioner unless u want to spend alot of money. You can get a manual one for like 30 bucks or less. All it is is a blot that goeds down the hole and puts pressure on your cam chain to make it not rattle and not be as loose. It has 2 lock nuts above that when u get into place. Anyway remove the old one install the manual tensionaer make sure u put gasket sealant on the new gasket that comes with it bold it in and then turn the engine on and let it make that noise. turn the tension and tighten it till you do not here the knocking anymore then back it off a quarter turn and thighten the lock nuts. Thats the easy way to do it.
