Weird engine noise

Is this a recent development or has it been getting progressively worse over time? When you say it has a vibe/hitting sound my first thought is it's in the bottom end and not the valvetrain. Initial thought would be excessive piston clearance (piston slap) but on a cast piston, factory built engine that's not really common. Hope it's not a bearing or you may have issues sooner rather then later.

Looking forward to other responses.
