So im having a strange noise come from my engine, here is the back story, my car had stalled on me while driving mid drive about 65 mph, just stalled, took it to a mech, they informed me that the crank sensor had been snapped off and the balance shaft belt needed to be replaced as well as the tensioners in the car. once i got that replaced i picked up my car from the mechanic and its been making a crazy noise.


here is the link to the video.... im not sure what it can be a few people i know have mentioned it may be a bent valve from the belt being shredded and breaking my crank sensor. any information will help though.
also the noise only happens at about 2500+ rpms

How did you not notice it from the shop? Did this happen right away or after you beat on it? If you feel like it's something the shop did I would have them tow it back to the shop I wouldn't even drive it. Also the video doesn't come up on my phone.
 
yeah i havent been driving it, thats what i figured is that something is not installed properly because when its in low rpms 1500-2400 you dont hear anything then when i start going to upshift iut sounds terrible. im gonna call the mechanic and tell him to work on it again.
