thats a valve train knock

Possibly a rod knock, they come and go with RPMs. Low end knock is usually lower sounding thump. Can't be torque convertor bolts...Could be symptoms listed above....

The video sounds like valve train noise, not bearing noise. The first thing I would check is the rocker arm lash.

X2. Not a knock. Maybe a a wiped cam...

Pulling the engine on Monday. Will take it apart and see what the issue is.

Would be really nice to see its just a worn cam lobe or something. I hope its something simple to fix.

Well, the engine is out and partially apart. The verdict: GARBAGE. All cheap parts. 2 bolt main, shitty pistons with some kind of welds on them to make them stronger :-s (pictures at a later date). Bearings have copper marks on them and the crank is has ridges and grooves in it.

Sorry about low quality photos, more are coming soon
