I haven’t been back on this thread in a bit but I had a buddy who had a cracked spark plug tube at the top, valve cover side, not head side, and it made the valve train seem extraordinarily loud vs what I would consider “normal”. Took smoke testing to find it because it was high enough on the tube that it didn’t leak oil out on to the plug.

It’s a stretch... but definitely something to check out.
