when my car was brand new, the knocking was less audible than its today.
also some days there were less audible than others.
in my opinion if the dealer make the cylinder disconection test and when number 2 was off noise was lower, the knock is there and it wont get fixed by itself.
lound engine on clod startup can be piston slap, but when you shared video of your new engine i am sure i heard the valve guide noise, as i said before some hr16de are comming with defective valve guides, so you can hear a valve tapping noise, like "click click click click" or "tin tin tin tin", similar to injector noise, but more metalic.
have that checked too.
mine is going to be overhauled probably next week.
will post result and share video.
about cabin air filter.
in whole south america march, versa and note came without the filter.
in brazil MANY people was complaining about this, and some dealers will install a compatible aire filter for free, others wont.
