Hey, this guys not new. I get his handle all the time in old threads when searching.
Your description sounds like an air leak. Either head gasket, base gasket, ring blowby or a valve isn't seating. When running feel your hand around the gaskets. It will show its ugly head is it is a gasket. If it a valve it will come out of the breather. If it is a ring it will come out of the oil filler.

Another leakdown test anyone? Things may have changed with your gaskets and the like from when you did your initial tests to check for valve leak. A gasket may have now developed a leak. I would assume you used all new gaskets.

You guys and your Thanksgiving in November, with Turkey and stuffing and pumpkin pie...... and I'm stuck at work eating stale leftover pizza and drinking water.

No pumpkin pie this year - just raspberry/lemon, grasshopper,peanut butter, blueberry/cream cheese pies plus pumpkin cake

My wife has a severe pie jones

This, of course, after a perfect turkey with chantrelle stuffing, cranberrys, yams, mashed spuds and gravy, fresh green beans with onions and basalmic vinegar (aah, I can't get up to eat any pie yet) Better finish that bottle of Grenache first

And Chef1366 wins the cupie doll with an exhaust gasket leak. Removed all the bolts, retorqued and the sound disappeared. I've cranked it up to redline, going all out, and so far no valves have popped off. So...*shrug* YMMV.

Actually Rudy suggested exhaust gaskets.
