I currently have a dinan exhaust/mid pipe and dinan stage 1 tune on it. Just got OEM sparks and coils changed 100km ago.

Here is a cold start video of how it sounds, seems to be coming from around the centre at the top.


Any feedback is appreciated. Have my doctor on standby.
Ok, here's a long shot but worth looking at: loose spark plug.

I'd pull the oil filter and look for shiny bits in it.

Also, as long as the crank is ok, if you did lose a rod bearing you might be ok. If crank is bad it's short block time.
