It has a timing chain, not a belt.  It knocks for a second when you first start it because all the oil is in the bottom of the pan and has to be pumped back into the engine.  The ticking could be the valve lifters going flat.

Where do you find recalls?

I have a 92 sidekick but I have not checked for any recalls - not that they are valid anymore but it would be nice to know

I'd say use our Dealer Finder link at the top of the page to find the closest dealer to you. Call them up and explain your situation.
