Hasn't gone away yet, but it has gotten much quieter and started moving around the engine instead of staying in one spot like it was in this video after switching back to straight 30w and opening the idle mixture screws another 1/4 turn to 1 turn from seated though idle got rougher again. Here's a picture of the gauges while idling on 5w-30 and a video of the noise I'm hearing. Trying to figure out what order to go or if any of the following could even cause it.
[good compression 135, 145, 140, 145, no water in oil oil stays clean and full and pressure seems fine]

Base timing and distributor direction, (not done yet)
Valve adjustment, (never been done?)
Carburetor final adjustment (fine tuning it's at initial).

All three need to be done but time and money are factors in the speed at which I can do them.
