could be all sorts of stuff

cat heat shields
exhaust manifold
aux belt tensioner
cambelt tensioner
lifters

you need to attack it methodically and eliminate items one by one

1) where is the rattle exactly?  give us more of a clue

also, when was cambelt last changed?  If it is that change it NOW else you damage lots of stuff
