No really sure could have been several things..

That is a 3.7 i5, but is still running on my stock 3.5 i5 tune/ tables
I was running too thin of oil for too long of a duration for how I drive it (like its stolen)
and
I think it was getting revved too high..

It still runs fine but just slowly and slowly getting a little louder only if you listen for it, Im probably about to park it for a while and drive my S10 while I get some stuff paid off

What oil were you running? The thing should safely bounce of the rev limiter for hours straight using 5w-30.

Sounds like a good excuse to upgrade to a 5.3 It's tough to make out in the video, but I can hear it faintly...did you narrow it down to a cylinder? You can short out the cylinders until the noise ceases, then you'll know which cylinder is at fault.

ill throw another 5cylinder in it, I can get them from 500-1500 and dont have to change anything.

Same boat, everybodys always says, "Oh why dont ya throw a 5.3 in it?"

Ya, I can get a 5.3 pretty cheap and what not, but there is $2000-$3000 worth of other stuff to do it the right way.
