2023 Rebel 300 with 8k miles. Can’t figure out what this noise is. Nothing I can find on the internet that narrows it down specifically. A mechanics stethoscope was used and the noise is louder on the top of the engine than the bottom. Valve clearance was measured and it’s within spec. Next thing is a full tear down but I’m not sure where to start once it’s apart.

Fresh oil change and just replaced a leaking exhaust gasket as well.

Didn’t see anyone else talking about this when I searched the page. I played my entire first game and now NG+ and consistently have shots that don’t hit the enemy even though it’s a direct hit. A ripple animation appears and sparks as if I’m shooting the wall. Anyone else have this issue? It’s extremely frustrating. Playing on PS5
