If you're sure it's from the top end, then I would replace the TCT (get one from Billman). OEM TCT are known to fail, some even at pretty low miles from what I've read.

The first video sounds like classic TCT to me.

In my opinion TCT noise is higher pitch and really sounds like cards in spokes more than a knock.

I think I would PM billman and make arrangements to buy a TCT from him and at the same see if he might have a listen.

I'll throw my guess in and say that's piston slap/scored walls. Drain the oil and send to Blackstone to know for sure.

My guess as well. We shall see. I hope is something simpler.

Like confusing metric for standard sizes and adjusting the valve clearance to .25"

Since we're guessing... Rod knock from spun bearing.

Hope I'm wrong. Good luck!

i did drive it home, 23 - 26 miles, no power loss, to be safe ordered tct from advanced, so if it doesn't fix it i can return it

if it doesn't fix then i have to figure out what to do with it

Take a sample of your oil and send to Blackstone. It's a cheap, quick, and easy way to rule out engine issues without causing further damage. Ask me how I know...
