I read the post. This is what you said.

That's about it. Plus you indicated that I must be ill to think that oil won't make a difference in valve train noise; same as telling me I don't know what I am talking about. That's where you went wrong and why I jumped all over your post. Civil discourse is fine and we can even disagree but insinuations like that just get a bad reaction.
