Wow...ya know maybe a description of what kind of "weird Noise" you are hearing would help.

thats the thing i dont know what kind it is its not a pinging noise but it could still be a knock cuz ive never heard a knocking engine before...but it sounds like its coming from the cylinder head...actually im 95% sure its coming from the cylinder head...it doesnt make the sound during acceleration either so i dont know what it is...it just doesnt sound right

could u post a vid of it??? check the timing and make sure its not 1 or 2 teeth off. but its going to be hard not being able to hear it

yeah i will this weekend the car is at my friends house right now because thats where ive been working on it...ill be sure to check the timing out right away and ill get that vid as soon as possible...you dont think it just might be that the engine hasnt been cranked for about a year do you? because its been sitting in my friends garage for over a year and i just got it back up and runnin so any more info will help but ill check the timing and get a vid

you think thats the problem? if i dont do this will it cause harm to my engine?

your head would slightly tick if you were in need of a valve lash adjustment, and you say you hear a " knock " like sound so it may be another issue y0. manually turn your crank to TDC and check your timing

Thats a great idea.
