B18 With unidentified rattling noise

I'm posting for a friend who is going nuts trying to diagnose a rattling noise in his engine.
There is little power, acceleration is flat and slow.
The noise occurs when the engine is warmed up and at low idle.

Here are two videos of the engine running & rattling...

Any ideas?


The engine has slightly lower compression on #3 cyl
Timing 12 deg BTDC
