Default Ticking Sound from Head between 1000-1200rpm

There's a ticking noise comming from my Head
Cant really place what it might be

Link to video
https://youtu.be/fn-gj0n13c8

It starts around 1100 rpm above 1500 there's no ticking. Its a d15z6 block with a d16z6 Head. Want to Turbo it but not before this is solved

On the video its less noticable
Any1?

sounds like exhaust rattle, but could be an exhaust leak, when the exhaust has a leak it's noisy because noise escapes out

you can try seafoaming the intake and looking for white seafoam smoke leaking out of the exhaust there

Aint the exhaust since it really Comes from inside the engine

Sounds like there's something loose in it but we checked and there isnt so that's the problem.

Think I Have to buy a new head

compression test it to see if the engine is in good

you can always hand crank the engine with the valve cover off and see if something is loose before messing with the head

Did already check for loose things. May be doing a new compression test tomorrow
