You can pull the valve cover and remove the top guide, should be two bolts, and the rattling will possibly be gone. It's true, many members (if not all) with a KA24DE have done it.

Commone occurence on the SR's too. Should solve your problem, if not you didn't have anything to loose. If that doesn't work, timing chain tensioner would be next think to change.
