Engine rattle (rocker cover)

I've had the car 4 weeks and seems I've got a rattle coming from under the rocker cover!

Tends to appear around 1500rpm and go around 2krpm it doesn't increase with revs either and it's so annoying?

I've got a video!

You can hear it after I rev it!

Any chance it's the wastegate flapper arm rattling or is it for sure under the valve cover?

Yeah if am driving off throttle it rattle ! But if I slightly put my foot down it goes!

If I build boost it's gone, so am thinking it's that too! If it is? Easy to sort out?

While I haven't had to do it myself, adjusting the preload is fairly simple as long as u can reach the rod. Worst case would require removing the radiator on the Evo. Just Google "how to set wastegate preload" in YouTube. Typically I think you adjust it so half the pin on the wastegate arm covers the hole in the adjuster rod.
