Sounds like an exhaust leak to me.

Check the exhaust manifold bolts and downpipe bolts.

Since they replaced the head, I'm willing to bet they didnt re torque the bolts after a heat cycle.

It sounds like it's coming from my valves the middle of the block and towards the guide bolt on the side of the block

You would be surprised how sound can travel in an engine bay.

Why not check and see before making a potential easy fix worse.

This way, you will know for sure if you need to pull the cam cover and check the chain & guides.
