as long as u lock the engine top and bottom about 5mins, the are just bearings, have to keep the timing locked in its marking.

 :-? :-? :-? :-?
If it's the 'fan belt'/auxillary belt, there's no timing involved at all.  15 mm socket/spanner on the retaining bolt and lever to the right (as you stand in front of the car) and ease the belt off all the pullies & out of the way. Start the engine & see if the noise has gone away. If so it's one of the auxillarues. If not it could be one of the cam belt tensioners, in which case you will need to delve deeper ASAP before the belt/tensioners give up & you need a 'new' engine' .... or 24 valves at the very least.

in a 2.2  :question

You spotted my deliberate mistake then ....... 

I'd assumed there was a proper engine installed!!!
 

I wish there was - I'm no boy racer but the engine is underpowered for the size of car! Sometimes you need to overtake for safety reasons and it just doesn't have enough oomph!
