Default Bad LMA's? Video inside

Alright i pretty much already know the answer to this but i just want some verification from the guys experienced with it.

Head is a 91 B16A w/ obd1 dizzy and injectors, block is b18c1 bored to 82mm w/ wiseco 12.1:1 pistons, head has ITR cams, Retainers, springs, valves, intake manifold & throttle body. Its the original 91 b16 lma's from what i know, and theyre known to tick like *** correct?

Heres the video, ive already got good shape ITR LMA's on the way, i just want some reassurance again even though im 99.9% sure thats all it is.

Loudest area is around cyl#3 on exhaust side. I just recently adjusted the valves, .007 on exhaust, .006 on intake

Thanks in advance for answering my n00b sounding question. Searched and read alot, all the ones who say there lma's were bad and fixed it, their videos sound similar to mind so im pretty confident with saying its deffinetly the LMA's especially being a 1st gen b16 head.

Thats basically what mine sounds like when driving. Like a coked out caffeine'd up with no sleep dude on a oldschool type writer would be the best way to put it..
