After installing Kpro and changing out the retainers/keepers on the intake side and performing a valve adjustment, the car made the same noise thats in the video after the first drive, but quieted back down to normal levels after I drove it around the next day. However, about a month after all that was installed, this clicking noise slowly became more prominent. This video was taken yesterday morning after driving home from work. The car sounds normal when its cold, however after the engine warms up, this clicking sound develops at idle and low steady rpm cruising.

The noise seems to be coming from the head, so the low oil pressure and this clicking may be two isolated issues, but I figured it would be best to post this up to get some more experienced opinions. I have never heard the TCT noise in real life, so I'm not sure if this is the same thing!

Spun bearing i think... Especially as a result of low oil pressure

You definitely sound like you have TCT noise there in the low RPMs.

NICE! I just sandblasted mine a few weeks ago. I didn't know this car could sound so quiet at idle/cruise, lol. I had just been living with TCT noise for years!
