youll have to be more specific about what this noise is...

As for the dirty block, it comes from the valve cover gasket being dried out/old and allowing some oil to seep out over time.


A good APC and a scrubbing with various brushes will get rid of it.

well the way i can explain is either metal rubbing together or if not mistaken timing belt needs to be replace is hard to explain the noise all i know the only way i can get rid of it is by hitting the gas

You wouldn't happen to have the Medieval Alternator Pulley on your car, would you? If so that may be the reason for the metal sound, mine failed on me and the lip came off of the inside of the pulley, rubbed around and gave a similar sound. If it's not that, then maybe the belt.

Some pics.. can't see much, but the inside lip of the pulley isn't there, since it snapped off. It will actually be still in there since it is an O shape, but will just be dangling around and causing a metal/chain (like a chain dog leash on pavement) sound.
