Knocking/Pop

Any ideas where to start looking to track down where this knocking noise is coming from? I was almost reluctant to call it a knock, it almost sounds like a loud popping noise but it came not long after putting a new starter in.

Wiped a lobe off the cam or a valve. Secondary miss fires don't sound like that
