Could be timing gear or valve. Try shorting out plugs one at a time. 3 should sound similar and one odd if it is a valve. If you think it is a valve try Marvel Mystery Oil,drain out a quart of oil put in a qt of MMO. If it is a timing gear, listen with stethoscope.

Get a good idea of what it is before you tear it apart. Good Luck
