Best guess, belt sloppy and slapping the cover, or a bad tensioner. Try using a piece of wood, like a broom handle or something, hold it to your ear and place it on the timing cover. You'll be able to hear it real good if that's where it comes from.

I took the timing belt cover off and found out the belt is really bad and I need a new one. But I still cant seem to figure it out. if it's coming from the belt or the pully's. It's loud, and when I rev the engine it gets louder with more gas.It sound like somthing is hitting on somthing but I dont see a thing Any ideas?????? Please Help...

You run it without the cover? Was the sound still there?

reading from your other posts i would say replace the bet and if that wasn't making the noise you probally need a new tensioner, bcause the belt could be flapping or moving around a bit to create the noise, that bet moves REALLY fast and there can be allot of torque transmitted to it when you hit the gas, i would say replace the belt, if it's still noisy then check the tensioner, this all after you see if it makes the noise with the cover off
