Hey I purchased my car about a month ago (Ka24de) knowing that it had a tick noise when idling...I know that its coming from some where in between the fan and block but have no idea what to do to get rid of it?

I took it to a mechanic just to see what he would say and he told me to take off my power steering belt and let it idle to see if it goes away.

I also had another guy tell me it could be the timing chain guide. Its not causing any major problems as far as Im concerned...its just d*** annoying!
