Oh the legendary Gokhan, its safe to assume that I "messed up" the valve clearances and maybe I "don't know" how to do it. Won't blame you there buddy!
However, I know what's metric and standard and I also know how to read and understand the correct specs and clearances(not my first rodeo). I verified the firing order before proceeding. Also, I know where is the intake and exhaust because I read the instructions and visually and physically inspected the orientations of the valves. I have two sets of valve feeler gauges, one is angled and the other is straight, and they're both working, shiny and smooth by the way. I used both cause I want to make sure on the first and second attempt(no changes at all) that I'm within spec. I also torqued the locking nut to specs.
Whether it has something to do with the oil or me being 100% cockeyed and dumb enough not to know what I'm doing, I'm just glad the 5w30 quieted things down and made it purr like a kitten. I'm happy, and the motor didn't blow up yet(you'll be the first to know if it does).
I would like to really thank you for your very informative and intellectual input!

This is a 100% indication that you messed up the valve clearances.
It has absolutely nothing to do with the oil. You either confused between the intake and exhaust valves or don't know how to measure the clearances properly. It could also be something wrong with your gauge, such as metric vs. standard. If the noise decreased later, it's not because of the oil but because of all the severe beating the valves were receiving thanks to the incorrect valve adjustment. They should never sound like a sewing machine, and if they do, you know that the adjustment is wrong.
