Update

Thanks MMGT1, I'm trying to get my hands on a torque wrench asap, and in the meantime I ran some Marvel Mystery Oil through it, ran it for a few minutes each day for 2 days, and then changed the oil. Miraculously most of the noise is gone, and it is oiling on each rocker now, like it should. For those that say Marvel doesn't do anything, let this stand as a testament to it.

I'll post a vid of it soon so you can see the before and after. It really did clean out something, and I could see it washing out in the new oil, on top of the rockers. Looks like carbon deposits in the lifters or push rods coming out.

Most of the noise is gone, and it's slinging 5w30 everywhere now. I'm still going to check the rocker studs, and I think that will take care of the remaining occasional noise.
