I am no expert, but I am sure more information will be necessary. Most importantly, where is the noise coming from? Can you get someone to start it up for you so you can listen for where the noise is coming from with the hood open?

EDIT: pumps? pulleys?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
