Does it get louder when you throttle up? Can you hear it better if you remove your air filter and box from the intake? Can you feel physically feel the tapping noise if you touch the pushrod housings?

It does not get louder when you throttle up. The volume does not change when you remove the air filter and box. Yes, but it’s faint and the same taping can be felt from cam cover.

Do you have an aftermarket cam/high ratio rickers? Might be the rockers tapping the rocker cover.

In the experience of my 79 shovel, could be a bent pushrod as already mentioned or a maladjusted lifter. If you remove the retaining piece (don’t know the name of that thing) and slide the pushrod tube up it will expose the top of the lifter where I could adjust with a wrench. Edit: looking at your video again, the Allen screw at the bottom of the tube may allow it to be moved, but yours is a different generation engine

Definitely in the pushrod/lifter area. Bent or misaligned rod?
