dude my car is making that exact same noise...except i have a h22 swapped in...im located in south kc...also i had a friend listen to it and he said that it sounded like the timin was off or the belt was rubbing something...there is a place in grandview, mo called otto auto and they specialize in honda/acura...i talked to them and they said that if i brought it up there they could figure out what it was...and i saw that someone said something about a kc meet, when is it?

Sounds like your starter is staying engaged. It sounds like that when you engage it after the car is started.

It sounds to me like you need a valve lash adjustment.
