My apologies if this has been mentioned already but have you tried taking the serpentine belt off to eliminate accessories as a culprit?

@firebird_1995 that does not sound bad to me as long as it sounds like a swing machine it's fine that could just be the valves closing how much seat pressure is on the springs and how big is the cam?

A loose spark plug can sound valve train related.

This is a shot in the dark, but one time we were tuning Tonys Shepards car and it sounded just like an exhaust leak or lifter, it was an intake leak..

Any chance the rockers are ticking against the top of the valve covers or the center bolt webs?
