Hi Ari,
The noise is coming from around the top center of the engine or valve cover, or maybe even deeper in the engine.
Can I rule out the Engine Slap diagnosis? It seems like I would have commpression issues or oil/smoke if there was that much play.
I suppose I need to take it back and suggest the expert to look at the valvetrain and guides?
The noise is too loud and metallic to be a damper in my opinion. It is pretty loud.
