Deep hollow clang clang clang at engine speed is a spun bearing, probably #2. If allowed to go, the crank will soon score and break.
New engine time. New engine time anyway, as the bearing cap and block area are chewed up.
If loosening the injector cap nuts one at a time (then retightening) makes the sound go away on the affected cylinder, it's an injector.
