Honestly, I'm the kind of guy who buys all Ford Motorcraft parts to put in my engine, regardless of the price. But I know a lot of people on here use a ton of aftermarket stuff with little problem, so you could always ask around. Just stay away from Dorman if you value your engine at all.
If it's not coming from the front of the heads, it's possible it's a bad cam follower or a collapsed lifter.

Low oil pressure from a clogged oil pump pick up tube? Clears up completely when revved.. ??
The gear like ratcheting rattle sound I hear when the sound is just about to clear up is whats most concerning.. I might even think the torque converter.. Have you guys tried seeing if putting the Trans in neutral has a difference..
It is the tick tone of a bad phaser and set of chains, but that ratcheting sound when it clears up sounds like its coming from the back.
I'd definitely drop the oil pan and take a look with a sound like that..

That's what I'm thinking now too. It's weird, because it runs perfect. It's only when its warm and you shift from drive to reverse. You hear a clicking noise, but to get it to make the noise in the video, you have to play around with the rpms...?
