I can't speak to most of it, but if it gets more pronounced as the engine heats up it isn't valve slap. Valve slap diminshes as the engine warms up. This is because the various elements expand slightly as they heat up, filling in the extra space that allows the slap slightly and deadening the noise.

good luck,
