Loud Gurgle when engine starts

I've been having issues with my acutator and recently had it replace. I also had the fuel line cleaned out too. But there's still a loud gurgle when I start up my engine. I have the 2003 SE.
Has anyone else had this problem?

It seems to be the timing chain rattle that many here have complained about. It will hit it's audible harmonics at 2K RPM. It's "Normal" for our cars.

ya i agree with the 15 posts requirement thing also...but at least this question wasnt so dumb like the other ones.. its a legit question imo.. why? because I get to learn things i'm curiouse about without actually posting the question myself..haha so works out for me.

anyway, when my dad had his I35 it did the same exact thing. he sold the car however before he really had a chance to investigate the problem.
