pull the pushrods back out and make sure nothing is stuck inside of them. sounds like a rocker arm is running dry, or either someone forgot to tighten the torque converter bolts

Sounds like a rod bearing to me, listen to the speed of the noise, it sounds to be the same speed of the crank shaft. Short out the cylinders by either unplugging coils or injectors one at a time. When the noise goes away, you've found which cylinder is the culprit. Then you can pull the oil pan and the rod cap and you'll probably find a spun bearing...just my opinion...
Sucks dude, sorry to hear this

Yea, if the noise is still there when you short out the cylinders, you shouldn't have a rod bearing problem, if it goes away, you narrowed down which cyl it is, and you may be in for some bottom end work...I have my fingers crossed for ya and I'm hoping for the best, good luck

Well i got the head off yesterday and took out the lifters, come to find one lifter completely collapsed. It has definitely never pumped up so I am happy to say that is guaranteed my problem. Thanks to everyone who helped with this. Now I put it back together and start the turbo install.

Apparently these guys have never heard lifter chatter vs rod knock except on youtube. Even then they are NOTHING alike.
Glad it was a lifter after all man, new lifters and give her hell!

Heard em both my brother, many many times (been doing this for a living for a long time)...the speed of the sound is what got me, sounded like crankshaft speed to me. Unfortunately, I don't get the real sound on youtube through my laptop, so I do better in person 
Glad that I was wrong though, a lifter is an easy and inexpensive fix
