Identify engine noise 444-544 1963

Indianapolis area.

Motor mounts are new and tight and fan blade definitely not the issue. Don't think it's ping because don't hear sound pulling up hill under load like as I have experienced with other motors. Had a retired mechanic very familiar with 544's drive and listen and he was stumped. I have suspected the timing gear but have not read a description of timing gear noises. I don't know if a worn gear could move ever so slightly under high speed load to cause the gear to touch something internally and make such a noise.
