Your exactly right bmorgil, the oil pressure is Vital it will go into “cardiac arrest” if it’s not getting oil pressure from the get go and eventually it will be costly to repair over time.

WOW, I’ve been scratching my head on this for a few hours now...
Could it be something in the bell housing????
Maybe a spring on the clutch that’s broke, a ball bearing on the throw out bearing???...
It may even have a hair line crack in the porcelain close to the steel part that is letting it jump to ground.
You are very welcome monty509, the smell of gas makes me think it may be the plug even more but the thought of running it in the shop/garage in the dark will be the answer.
The only reason I kept looking at the video was it didn't really sound like a rod,valve,wrist pin or anything metal knocking around it was more of a muffled sound like a misfire or something.
Maybe...
Actually I BLEW it up like you did and kept hitting the replay on my office computer and sure enough it's a arc.
I thought the same thing on number 1 and I think it is paper or paint but number 4 is definitely an arc from the plug.

If you watch the video close and about the 2-3 second mark, what is the spark on #4 cylinder right where the plug seats to the head????
Could it be a dead cylinder until it fires to the electrode...
Does it knock all the time or just when you fire it up cold?
Sounds like a loose plug blowing compression until it warms up or a leaky exhaust gasket blowing exhaust until it warms up.
