 I’m not a machanic by any means and that is why I come to here. I have
a 2001 Camry le with a 2.2 litre 4 cylinder. I have been hearing alot
of tapping and rattling coming from what I thought was the timing
belt, or near that same area. I figured that maybe the belt was
becoming worn or just slapping around. I looked at the belt and it
looked fine (not slapping around or even worn). I kept looking around
and I think that the noises are coming from inside the valve cover
somewhere. I did not see any bolts holding the cover in place so I
could not take off to look inside. What do you think that problem is.
Could it be a lifter or something like that? Help me. Thanks

 you didn't mention mileage. Now, did you remove the front engine cover and
actually look @ the timing belt?One thing that we see quite often on those
is a failed water pump bearing. It makes a grinding noise that comes from
the from engine area.

Yeah. When my '80 Corolla's went it made a noise like I had never heard
before. People were telling me bearings, etc, but a $65 water pump fixed
it!

Here's the test I was given (of course, this was 22 years ago when the fan
was attached). Grab the pulley of the water pump and try to move it side
to side. You will probably feel it clicking. (Uh, the pulleys ARE still
external and belt driven, right??? My '95 was...)

I removed the plastic cover that goes over the timing belt. The car
has 104,500 miles on it. The sound goes away when the engine exceeds
2500RPM. thanks

 Alright, with 104k, it would be perfectly reasonable to suspect the
waterpump. Your description matches every other customers that ended up
having a water pump replaced. Take it by a shop. Any experienced toyota tech
will be able to tell you if it is or isn't without opening the hood. We've
all heard it a million times.
