Default Engine Ticking HELP!!!!!

I also posted this in the tech section. I think it's coming from the altanator or something in that area. If it help's I did not have the Air conditioning on. Any help with what this ticking sound is would help. Thanks

That was my next guess. How do you fix it if it is that.

pull the valve cover off and you will see the timing chain going around a sprocket (cam gear) . Wiggle it and see if its tight.
