Possible rod knock? (With video)
I recently bought a new to me 2000 f350 7.3 obviously. After only driving it a few hundred miles it’s developed a knocking which I hear mostly at idle and it does increase with slight rpm. I can’t really hear it when driving over other engine noise. It’s easiest to hear from the passenger side. It has new oil and filter new LPOP bc it had a leak as well as a new oil cooler. I did pull the valve cover and unplug each injector and the sound didn’t change. I will link a video for reference. Any input would be much appreciated.

Hi and welcome.
Have you looked for signs of an exhaust leak? Check for soot around manifolds and uppipe connections. I’ve found a leak by feeling while engine was cold.
Air in fuel can also make the noises louder. Does it do it while the tank is full too?
