Saw your video. Sounds bad. I would recommend checking your oil pressure. At idle it should be approx. 1 bar 17-22psi. Could be a bad hydraulic lifter failing or valve contact or bent. Next, I would put a vacuume gauge to see what it reads...that will give you a better indication of valve trail issue. You should put car on lift and hear if noise is louder from below while engine is running. Don't suspect bearing noise yet...but we will have to see. Keep up posted... Later.

a Stethoscope (Harbor Freight) or a long screwdriver in your ear and placed around the engine: Cam tower, Oil Pan, along the intake manifold, etc, should help you localize the noise. IMHO, it sounds like a rod knock. That's usually the case when the #2 bearing goes south due to oil starvation. If your oil pressure is very low (should be above 2 at idle and around or above 4 at 3000 rpm). If it is, you could have a crack in the oil pickup tube or an oil pump/drive issue. In any case, low oil pressure could make the lifter(s) rattle. The #2 bearing can be damaged also by a lot of cornering with low oil quantity and the oil foams up creating a dry bearing.

Some people try to turn back their "odometers." Not me. I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
