Ok, so upon further review I stuck a stethoscope to all the cylinders. It would seem that the "slight valve train" noise, that my friend and myself heard is, indeed, coming from piston #3. Which is the same piston that caused all my head aches 20 months ago 
. It is making a ticking sound that is very audible under the stethoscope. None of the other cylinders are making that same sound.
Next wednesday I am going to take it to a local performance shop to have him give it a listen, to see if he agrees with what I hear. Then, if it is indeed screwed, I'm more tempted pay him to fix it, than give ffhp a call. After all the crap I have been through with them, it may end up being more worth the piece of mind to pay someone else to fix something that I paid to have fixxed already. Granted, with my move coming up, it may not be till late summer until I can afford to fix it. Which makes another season wasted. But, it beats the hell out of waiting another 2 years for the money to buy another complete motor
Thanks all for your help, and putting up with my BS.
cheers to you for helping me out, and trying to keep my hopes up that it is something else. I'll keep y'all updated if you are intrested. To use internet lingo, this is sooo teh ghey
