That sounds more like some kind of exhaust problem to me. There's a whistling component

I dont remember if you did fuel pressure/leakdown or not. Look... You need to put all your info/ stuff you did in one thread.. timeline.
Cant keep jumping threads
Sounds sorta like a weird blown gasket to me.

The sound dies right after it warms up and when it is making the sound it effects the exhaust... makes it stumble...

Yep.. that's what I got out of the video. Look if I was there, I could probably help pinpoint it in about 5 minutes, but it's impossible to tell through the sound interference and there's nothing I can do about it anyway.
It SOUNDS sorta like a blown headgasket, not sure why it goes away. So a compression check wouldnt be a bad move.
You're going to have to take it to a shop or find someone who really knows cars.

Look... here's the bottom line: no matter how long we talk about it on here it aint getting fixed. The SOUND tells me it's mechanical and will require wrenches.

So I read this online ((Without further information (whether the noise goes away immediately or after warm-up) there are two main causes of such a (ticking) sound. One could be a valve lifter which "bleeds down" at shut off and requires some time to re-fill with oil after cold start. The other could be a cracked piston, the noise of which disappears after warm-up. Either require serious amounts of labor to repair. The lifter problem is, at worst, annoying and will not result in serious harm if not dealt with immediately. The piston problem is much more ominous. If the piston fails, it will likely result in serious engine damage which may require engine replacement. Finding the broken piston is easy. Just disable the spark plugs one at a time until the noise stops. Which ever cylinder has the firing load removed will be at fault. Good luck ))... Is there accuracy with this reply...

Yep

Another possibility is a cracked exhaust valve seat. Compression test will find either one.

That is why is could be the Lower intake mainfold gaskets leaking internaly. The water gets into the oil, than foams up, than fills the lifter with foamy oil, than leaks down overnight resulting in a partially oil filled lifter. These sounds are the tricky ones sometimes, I wish you good luck.
