what is this sound?
after reassembling my engine with new heads and intake, and setting valve lash i got it to run but now it's making this noise and it doesn't sound good, there is a high pitch ticking that you can't really hear unless you're watching the video and then there is a lower noise that sounds like a knock, but i don't know what it is, maybe a bent push rod? please let me know what you think, i'm stumped and really frustrated.

Check that all of the spark plug wires are going to the correct cylinder.
