If the noise is clearly coming from the timing belt area, you'd need to pull that off and see if anything is touching or broken in there. Seems unlikely but possible. If it's rod knock on the first cylinder, you can rebuild, replace or upgrade. A "stroker kit" is simply a 2.4 crank in a 2.0 block. It's easier to simply do a 2.4 which is not a "stroker", so you don't have to clearance the block or even line bore the mains. Get in and check your stuff first, crankwalk has different symptoms than what you're describing.
