took my car to the dealership

so i took my car back to the dealership about a week ago bc it was making a weird ticking noise, so they replaced the tensioner and valve cover gasket.. so i picked it up and its making the same sound as it was before they fixed it, but now its alot louder and theres a big noise near the driverside part of the motor underneath..my mechanic thinks it could be a wrist pin and the ticking noise on top of the motor is a timing chain (hopefully)...soo what does everyone think it could be?

Its non of those things, have them check your exhaust. You most likely have a exhaust air leak.

I guess you cant whine about the dealers doing it,if you have a friend you know does it and then come on here and brag about it .
