Does your temp go up higher than normal?Did you pop the hood then start it and listen to see where the noise is coming from?

Slight rattle is normal in the KA24DE. It is the timing chain guides that are rattling. I changed the waterpump in mine and it is still doing the same thing. It won't damage anything, just a little extra noise.
