If anyone thats experienced could give their opinion on the engine noise in the video above? I’m hoping it’s not the bottom end..
Glad you finally got them off.

It's hard to tell what's wrong from the video.

Another tip you might find helpful is that if you pull the intake manifold and valley cover off, you actually see the lifters at the front and rear of the engine.

For whatever reason I've had lifters go three different times and in each case I could see them this way.
