Exclamation VIDEO: What's this clacking noise?

Got a new Camera so I took the time to shoot some videos of the problems I've been trying to explain here on the forums.

Clacking sound number one Passengers side Cylinder head:

I thought it was an exhaust leak, but after inspection I cannot find any leaks. When I have the Oil filler cap off and I look inside the valve cover, whichever lobe is most visible appears to be HEAVILY marred and scored. could I have a lifter that has collapsed? or a SERIOUSLY out of adjustment valve-train?

This next one is my Steering column:

I tried to get into the steering column by way of taking off the steering wheel, but couldn't disassemble it any further. The steering BOX is securely attached to the car and the tie rod ends are in fair condition. It sounds like there's some sort of coupler that has come loose and it rotating against it's attaching bolts. I have about a 15 or 20 degrees of rotation on either side of center before the slack is taken up and the steering shaft begins to turn.
