Well my cars engine has started to rattle i cant really pin point it. The rattle happens when its at 2000~3000 RPM matters what gear. It also does it when i shift. Its weird it only does it when the cars warm. At first i thought BHG but now im thinking timeing belt what do you guys say?

Sounds like the big-end bearings have worn, check the crankshaft pulley hasn’t come loose first; this also can make a rattling noise. Read this post Link.

Well UKBill was right, it is the bearing what do i do now? Rebuild?

if you are sure that is what it is, then yes, you will need to have the engine rebuilt. Do not run it any more, as it will just cause more wear and ruin parts that may be salvageable.
