May not be rod knock, sounds to consistant to be rod knock. look up videos on youtube with s14 sr's with bad vct gears. or look up vct rattle.

Yeah it's been rebuilt now, it turns out it was a small piece of stainless from the exhaust manifold (which cracked) that had somehow gotten sucked into a cylinder and was stuck to the top of a piston. The noise was the piston ramming the stainless into the top of the cylinder. Luckily it did not move from there and did no real damage (apart from the $4000 to strip down and rebuild the engine, but at least I now have new rings/bearings/etc).

Timing chain guide ccheck the top one underneath valve cover. I have the same motor does it eventually stop because lack of oil pressure can cuase the chain tensioner to not fully tighten ijs good luck
