It's obvious there is a miss. Watch the movement of the engine in the video. Every so often it shakes more than just a cam lope.
To me it sounds like valvetrain clearance noise. Either the lifters contacting the valley pan, rockers touching the valve covers etc.
With the breather in the rear of the valve cover have you checked to make sure they are not contacting the rockers?
