Default Engine ticking noise

I have been searching and i do not think it's the CYL #4 Issue it only happens between 1-2k rpm.

I replaced the TCT earlier and this sounds like a different sound (iirc) it's been a while honestly and i do not remember exactly what the tct sounds like tbh.

It's just this annoying tick that goes away above 2k rpm and comes from TCT area. Any Ideas??


TIA

Listening on youtube to remember the sound of TCT.

My sound is not that diesel engine sound of the TCT, it's more of a clank. Also i noticed the TCT sound stays when on the gas, my sound disappears at 2k rpm

Ok I gave the car an Italian tune up, and it seems to have gotten better. But still happens on occasion.

I have been doing a lot of city driving (stop n go, low rpms etc) car felt like shit for a while, then after the italian tune up it feels like it's running a lot better overall. Shifts more smooth, power seems better, just a better drive. IDK if that can have anything to do with it but its a noticable difference.

What do you mean when you talk about Italian tune up?

Get a Mechanic's Stethoscope. It's only $10. That's what I did and my result was the belt tensor pulley bearing. $49.99 Easy fix. I also think that it was the TCT
