Pretty sure I solved it. After denting in that baffle a little, and checking oil. The guy said its a 5 qt Pan at first I took his word. Did some research there's a 5 or 7 qt pan. He had a smaller filter on it, I put a Mobil 1 m301, the one it calls for, and added another quart. Checked it, a little ways below add line. That was at 5 qt. I added another quart it brought it right to add line. So I added the 7th quart. Perfect. I thought that pan looked a little big to be a 5 qt pan. Anyways, fired it up, let it run for a sec turned it off. Cranked it again no noise. U can just hear roller rockers and all the components making their normal noise. So yay! Lol the valvoline people said it has all the additives a flat tappet needs. The amsoil people and valvoline both said that runnin syn doesn't hurt a new motor at all, it just may take a little longer to seat everything than a conventional cause of the superior anti wear. So I think I'm fine....for now haha now I just have a loud rap when I try to start at random times, I think the header heat has got to the starter. Guess I'll be changing that next! Anyone got advice for a good starter that'll work with the headers right next to it? Idk if they make a blanket or shroud for one.

Jacob, If you can determine which lifter ( if it is a lifter ) is noisy the rocker assembly can be removed and the lifter removed with a large magnet. You can most likely get by with adjusting one rocker arm but, now is a good time to learn. No manifold removal is required. Mike LeFevre

Pulled covers checked rockers, they are Rock solid. The push rods spin with a little drag like they are supposed to. I noticed two dents in the valve cover where rockers were hitting the baffle in the back of cover. I took a hammer and dented it in just a tad. I ran it without cover, still hear the same thing. Everything looked great though. I put cover back on and it was a lot quieter, and the motor hasn't even got to 130 degrees yet. Got good oil flow thru all the rockers. It was just beautiful haha. Hmmm so now what? Leave it alone and just enjoy it? Or worry about it and scream Whyyyyy and get it looked at? Should I change oil to a 15-40 instead of the 2050 Val syn? Trying to weigh options without having to pull intake and valley and all that jazz :-/

Is it louder when you start it up cold and maybe get quieter or go away? Could be a sticky lifter. I had that issue with a Dakota 318 Magnum. I put in some NAPA Valve and Lifter lube and it worked like a charm. The noise went right away.
