Failed injector? Timing chain? Blown spark plug? Rod?

Gotta start taking stuff off

Doesn't sounds good, but I can't tell what it is based on the video.

Codes? Could be the intake cam adjuster. Unplug it and see.

the codes were for misfire for each cylinder. And turbo wastegate voltage. Also for some reason I got a ton of alerts with the ignition on. It was saying rear camera failure, wiper failure, head unit failure, etc. I've never seen that before in my life. So odd....

Also, start it up again and this time unhook the intake cam adjuster and see if the noise goes away. If not plug it back in and try the exhaust cam adjuster.
Ok ill try it tomorrow and let you know. Its dark out right now. I'm just scared its a rod bearing which makes no sense with liqui moly oil changes every 5k miles. But the noise is very loud...

That's what I reccomended. Remember 1.8 only has intake.
