It sounds pretty ugly.
was it quiet when you got it back from the mechanic after he replaced the balance chain? what else was done to the engine while it was apart?
even though you confirmed that the timing chain tensioner is within spec I would still want to confirm if the timing chain is or is not contributing to that noise (that noise is certainly suggestive of a broken timing chain guide). It's easy enough to pull the valve cover and inspect most of the guides and see if there is any play in the timing chain.
btw valve cover and motor mount arm look great! what did you paint it with?
