1979 Porsche 930 engine sound

After a short drive, I couldn’t help but notice this sound. After reading different threads on failing timing chain tensioners or valve jobs, it doesn’t quite sound like that to me. So I’ve made a video. I’m contacting my pro-mechanic, but in the interim here it is.

Here’s what I see so far:

Stars/occurs once engine is warm
Definitely on the lower end
Roughly 2,000 miles since full rebuild
It is not a consistent sound
Doesn’t go away after 2,000rpm
Using a wood stick trick, I cant (yet) find it
