2013 V8 engine noise

Hi all, Hope you all had a good New Years. This one better than last!!! I have a "new to me" 2013 GL450, very well maintained by dealer, but high mile (190k) siting in my driveway. I am not driving it yet, long story, but just noticed it has a noise from what seems to be bottom of the motor, front, driver's side. I JUST did an oil change and honestly, not sure if the noise was there before the change. But the change went very smoothly, 9 quarts of Liqui-Moly 5W-40 and the zig-zag filter. Hoping it's NOT rod knock! I will try to upload the video I just took. Thanks!

Try the search function. Timing chains are known to be problematic. Or rods, or piston scuffing.

What recall? Is it the whole chain or just the Camshaft tensioners and such?
