Question 2003 3.0 Engine noise??? Video included

Hey all, I am new here so don't get mad if I posted in the wrong spot. I am in desperate need of some help/advice...

I have had my car for over a year and I have always changed the oil on time and changed the spark plugs twice now. and it recently started knocking/ticking/whatever you can call this noise. I took a video today and will post it along with this here.


It is a 2003 3.0 automatic..

3.0's are known for having cam issues on that right rear cyl its something with the oiling system. Its usually a roached exhaust cam. Lifters are a more uniform sound as they all tick mostly evenly. Not one making a knockingish sound.
