Knock Knock Bros - Help

Any idea what this sound could be? I have looked up several posts, but haven't really found one to match the sound. It just started when I got to work this morning. Oil changed 1200 miles ago, but I do have a slight OFHG leak.

Not sure what it is but it doesn't sound good. When you revved, did the knocking sound follow with the RPM?

That sounds like it's time to drain the oil and see if your engine is dying.

Yeah, I did another video that i posted on a FB group where as I slowly ramp throttle you can hear the noise increase with RPM. I am getting a rubber strap clamp to remove my oil filter and I will have an update by Saturday. I am going to miss this car

Spun rod bearings usually happen shortly after oil change. quiet/er when cold and louder when hot. Cyl 1 & 2 go out first. Send oil sample to lab.

Sounds bad. Time to open or at least do an oil analysis.
