Your input on what this noise might be? Dealer says…

Hello sir engineering has a video clip from others and are in the process of providing dealers with a repair bulletin . They have a replacement Timing guide(s) that corrects this noise.

It sounds more like rod bearing or wrist pin to me.

your thoughts?
