Does this sound like a normal ka24de valvetrain?

Well my motor is running perfectly, it just sounds very close to this video. Is this about right for the bucket tappet design? Maybe im just used to the old single cam with the hydraulic adjustables?

are you low on oil? i don't know, run some thicker oil in it. i used run 20w50 in my car it was very quiet but i didn't like way it ran compared to the 10w40. i was gonna say it sounded like the injectors but the taping is to fast in the video.

I'm just running the recommended 10W30 but I could try 10W40.
