2G What is this tapping sound?

I was happy I was able to catch up with maintenance and everything was completed, car needs nothing and I was proud to say it but I think it said it too loud because now my car is having another issue.
*Face palm*

Driving to my mother's house the car started to make this sound, noticed when I stopped at a stop light.

Just want some ideas on things to check, oil was replaced a few days ago and the car is well maintained I change my oil regularly. Topline lifters etc. Timing belt and water pump was replaced along with pulleys.

This car is my daily but I'm considering buying a daily if it's big job and letting this car sit for a while.

Drain some of the oil into a clean container. See if all the bolts are tight on cam gears. Inspect harmonic balancer. Did you replace the hydraulic tensioner during tbelt?

 

[OrlandoDSM]

Yeah, the tensioner was replaced with OEM mitsu tensioner.

I'll keep that noted to do that, thanks

That sounds similar to what my car sounded like on my original motor when the oem harmonic balancer began to separate, I thought I had spun a bearing and was hearing rod knock , I agree with Tony, inspect your balancer

The video I posted is the harmonic balancer maybe a month ago, does it look like it's on its way out. Will take a look tomorrow

It’s clearly separating so it needs to be addressed. Here’s one recently but I think it sounds different. You can just remove it and start the engine to see if it goes away. Very important if you do this DO NOT REMOVE THE CENTER BOLT, just the 4 12mm bolts.

While running look from up top and see if you see it wobbling.
