there is a knocking coming from inside the left cylinder head or at least i think so but its on the left side of the engine & i was thinking about just ordering a new head online but i wanted a second opinion also the timing belt is fine ive had a few people try to sat its the timing belt but i was wondering if it could be the tensioner or something simple to fix?

Hi there,

This is just to hard to make a judgment on with out hearing the noise, there is a lot going on in the engine that can make that type of noise, i would get a mechanic to have a listen first, you don't want to be getting an expensive head if its not the problem, sometime these problems just have to be heard first hand before you can make a diagnosis.
