Default help diagnosing an engine knock
only does this when it's warmed up. Starts at about 1500rpm-3500rpm. Here are a couple of videos. it sounds like it's coming from the driver side back of the intake area.

it kinda sounds like a bent pushrod, have you pulled the covers and checked them?

Take the rocker arms off. Then pull out the pushrods and roll them on glass tabletop or other flat surface and see if one is bent.
