VF 2 SV6 3.6L

Here’s a video of the sound, my camera/mic on my phone isn’t great.
Behind the engine Noise is what I believed was a concern. Let me know if you can hear what I’m talking about.
Ticking/tapping sound.

I have the same issue with my 2015 SV6. Passenger side either number 4 or 6 lash adjusters taking it to back to Holden and insisting on a fix. Not serious but will only get louder over time.
