sounds like BAD valve lash, id check/adjust your valves, and hope its not a rod

Check valve clearences...If it`s still there than it`s more likely a rod

might sound silly but check for exhaust leak at the header
Ive had this on a new build once and sounded like a rod gone
the leak can have a high pitched sound with a thud as well

Can you determine whether it's coming from the head or the bottom end?
