Video of noise, sounds more like a clattery noise in person, what do you think it is? Sounds likes it directly where the valves are, not further down by the cylinder

Any ideas?

only one way to find out... take off the valve covers. check for loose rockers and then take it to a mechanic

If it's a mechanic you don't know and trust, report back here with his diagnosis before you let him do anything to it. I'd hate to see you get reamed by a shady mechanic.

Went to go do that.. But the allen wrench bolts holding it downgoi g down the middle, the back ones completely stripped... Others come out fine, that ones solid. Ideas on how to get it out?
