Def not "just how it sounds" lol...mine doesn't have this sound. Give a little more info though...when did it start doing, general area where its coming from, loss of power, funky idle (up and down) etc. More info the better folks can help you pinpoint the problem

i bought the engine off some guy it always made that sound i lost the guys number so i couldn't ask him. I think its coming from the right side of the engine ware the timing belt is, not really much loss of power, some times it idle's high at 2-3 k rmp some times if i rev it a few times it idles normally also the ac belt is not on.

Do you still have power steering? Did you change the fluid recently?
