pulled the motor awhile ago to reseal a couple things and try to clean the bay up, After getting the motor to start there is a noticeable ticking. The noise does go up with the revs. Motor did not make any noticeable noise before the pull
List of things i did while motor was out
*resealed the pan.
*reroute oil filter which included, little bigger oil cooler, oil thermostat. Have oil pressure from gauge at oil thermostat.
*replaced injector o-rings. Did a diy injector cleaning and seemed to hold pressure and sprayed fine, but not ruling out if they are making the noise.
*new clutch and flywheel with arp bolts

Used a stethoscope, sounded like it came from the heads. Pulled and checked valve lash. All within spec.

Not sure if a oil passage is clogged some how, or oil not actually circulating to the heads. Any pointers, suggestings would be appreciated.
Thanks

Did the YouTube link not work? I can try and reupload it

Lol, sorry- I completely missed the video link at the top!

Sounds like you have 2 sounds going on there- the loud ticking(and part of that might be exhaust leak),
and also a lower knocking sound. That'll be the rods. If it goes away when warmed up, it may just be wider clearances,
and not rodknock.
