Jesus, now a NEW noise from engine, help fellas

Good god, is this EVER going to end?

So if you don't know already, my car is an Accord 5-speed.

It was chilly this morning, so I fired 'er up, and there was this stupid loud "ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta" sound coming from the engine bay, so I pop the hood and it sounds like it's coming from the engine, NOT the transmission. It's VERY loud.

So I get back in the car, push the clutch in about an inch, and it goes away.

So I drive the car, and when the clutch isn't pressed it and the car is in neutral, or shifting gears, it makes the noise again. I DO NOT feel it in the clutch pedal, so it can't be the throw-out bearing (replaced it 2 days ago). When the old throw-out bearing took a dump, you could feel it in the clutch pedal and it was a completely different sound.

Now, here is the weird part, this happened a few times. Once the engine warmed up after about 10 minutes, the noise stopped...but when making sharp left turns at speed, the sound comes back....WTF? It was only doing it this morning, it has been fine the rest of the day.

So I'm not 100% sure, but it sounds like it's coming from the engine and NOT the transmission.

HELP!

Next Q...

How many miles on the Hondar?

110,000

But why is it when I push the clutch in, the noise goes away? And why does it go away when the car is warmed up??

Lifters could be worn out, millions of different scenarios here. How long do you let your vehicle warm up before you drive. I see people all the time jump in their car and go, that is not good on the engine at all. Not to say you need to warm it up all the way, just long enough for the rpm's to come down and what not. I would suggest getting it on some diagnostics.

Orignal Clutch and Throw out bearing?

Could be the oil pump itself.

I would take it in if its making that much noise

Clutch, throw out bearing (replaced twice), flywheel, and pressure plate were replaced 6 weeks ago.

Sounds like your Main bearing is going out if you have gone though that many clutches..

My 300k mile Isuzu pickup had just enough Main Bearing play that it would destroy a throw out bearing every 30k miles.
