So as the title says, my head recently started knocking right in time for Christmas !
I'm kind of in a situation right now, and need to start making decisions soon.
Anyways here's a video of the sound I'm hearing;

I finally for the time to pull the valve cover off, and manually then the motor. Can't really duplicate what's going on like when the motor is running, but here's some pictures of what I found !
Retainers all chewed up !

I've heard from a few other that I could have a bad lifter? Not to sure, but I'm trying to find what's the cause 100%.
I may be moving within this year, so I'm not really trying to throw tons of money/time at this motor. I'm actually considering finding a decent Ka swap so I can atleast drive it.
Any thoughts on the cause of this nonsense? Thanks on advance.
