What's the ignition timing set at? Is the egr system in good working order?

im not sure on the timeing, i know when i reinstalled the parts on the motor i redid the timeing and it was set properly and sounded great..but now thinking about it i could possibly have a bad belt or jumped a tooth on the timeing belt?....
the egr is all in good working order
would the o2 sensor cause anything like this or is it more a timeing/ingition problem?
i could replace the plugs rotor and cap retime it
just trying to save from doing unneed'd work

I'd double check your oil levels to begin with. Check the timing (should be fine but it won't hurt). Are you sure it's not lifter rattle you're hearing? or a loose heatsheild etc. I just wanted to make sure that it's a pinging noise and not an odd rattle of some sort. Pull the spark plugs, cap and rotor and inspect those to make sure they're in good working order. So here's my suggest approach angle
Check Oil
Make sure it's a pinging noise and not something else
Check Plugs, Cap and Rotor (use only NGK or Denso Plugs, if bosch throw them), Check plug wires at night for arcing
Check Timing

if bosch throw them),
well im guilty lol im running the cheap bosch plugs
ill get a set of ngk's
as far as a hear shild rattle i removed that as soon as i bought the car due to the rust on it made the whole bay look bad
engine oil is as good as possible on the stick.
and as far as being a rattle i dont belive that it is, because if i let off the gas it stops but give it more gas when i hear it it stops.

bosch plugs are notorious for causing problems in honda's. They have been known to blow a coil or two over time. that may be your issue
