Rattle / Pinging in my B18A -- Any ideas? Viideo Link in post

My 1992 Integra is making an odd rattle.

When its cold, its more pronounced that when its warm, and it only rattles at idle.

I adjusted the valve lash today, but the rattle / knocking / pinging sound is still there. The odd thing, is that it only makes the noise when its idling. If I revv it a little, the noise will go away. Once it comes back to idle, the noise comes back.

The car runs great, pulls smooth, idles smooth, starts great, and doesnt smoke or hesitate.

Here is a quick video I took tonight (sorry you cant see much, it was dark after I finished up with the valve lash and putting the tools away):

I have no idea whats causing this, since the car runs so good, and doesnt burn any oil, or smoke, or have any other tale-tell signs. Could it be an accessory, like the power steering pump?

Any suggestions are welcomed!
