So, I am not a mechanic but that video sound might be timing chain whip. Definitely it is not injector nailing noise.

How's the timing chain and how many miles on it? Although often when the timing chain is beginning to get loose, you can hear a metallic jingle. Cheap insurance to replace the timing chain at 200K miles.

You should check the timing chain guides also for broken pieces etc.

Sorry it get complicated.

Good luck!!
