It's been back to the dealer a few times. They've adjusted valve clearances so far. They say they know of one other with a similar "problem", but as yet will not admit it is a problem, more a strange characteristic. I have tried to get them to change the ECU, as that was their first suggestion, but as yet, they haven't done that. I also get a metallic sound on acceleration, which I think is an exhaust baffle, but they don't seem to interested in doing anything about that other than agreeing with me that it may be what it is.

Didn't someone think this could be a broken up cat part blocking the exhaust last time we had a similar query.
Pinking should never be heard in modern cars. It's an MGB thing.

My 1999 Accord 1.8 auto also suffered pinking. Valve clearances, new O2 sensorx2, knock sensor, ECU, pistons, head and finally engine block! Seems OK now, for 4 months anyway.
The tyre/road noise is also too high and the auto box whines between about 1500 and 2000rpm (other complaints of this seen). Three of the five seatbelts also replaced due to cracked plastic trims and the 'known problem' driver's door rattle needs to be sorted out yet. It also gets bogged down for a second or so when pulling away from rest, but only once when cold.
Dealer very good however.
