engine noise

Hey guys, I have found this website to be very helpfull and have fixed most of my cars issues(front bushings, radio, dash lights and headlights) with the help of this forum.

Car: 1993 J30t 119k

Problem: The engine makes a rattling noise from the top of the engine. It almost sounds like two gears with a bad mesh. The noise is most noticable right off of idle and then kinda goes away as the RPMs go up. The engine runs great at all tempuratures and never overheats. I think the noise is comming from the drivers side intake valve cover. It might be coming from the timming belt area too. I have reciepts for the timing belt replacement at 80k. I have only had this car for about two months and need some answers. I would like to save the cost of taking it to the dealer.

Thanks for the help,
Jason
