dont think id be able to do it myself the biggest job i ever donr was pttin a gearbox in a starlet and plus there is to much could go wrong in this
I always recommend rebuilding the one you have, a second hand engine with unknown history etc can easily end up in more troubles.
A complete rebuild of your engine does not cost a lot more then a second hand engine and you know you have essentially a brand new motor.

Ands if it does does it go away when you put it in gear and take the clutch out?? If it is its the VVT rattle and does no damage to your engine its just annoying
