You said the coolant is black, it is probably an intake manifold or head gasket leak. Look for a intake gasket leak first befor tearing off the head. Water getting into the cylinder under certain circumstances causes a steam knock similar to a rod knock but higher up in the motor. This will lead to furthur damage up to and including hydralic locking and bending of rods/breaking of pistons.

So i still have not be able to pin point the noise. I took out one spark plug and there was oil on its threads. is this a bad problem or just some oil go onto it. There seems to be no oil on the tip of the spark plug. I plan on replacing all the spark plugs later this week.
Should my next step be taking off the valve covers?
Here is a updated video of the noise

it seems like the ticking goes in and out, one second it would be loud, then quiet, then loud again for over a span of 4-6mins. once the engine is heated up at about 1/4 on the gauge.
I have no one really in my life to help me out one on one, and give me those tips a dad would etc. so depending on you guys to help me out. thanks

im going to take the valve covers off in the next day or so. How can i check if the lash adjuster or cam lobe is worn.
also would that noise cause by those go away one enough oil pressure or engine is up to temp?

I took off the drivers side valve cover, I turned the truck on and oil went everywhere, so i think its safe to say its getting oil. No chain slap, and didnt hear any noise, the truck only stayed on for about 20 secs before it died.
I felt the rocker arms, and the ones in tdc can be moved side to side just a tad and makes a clicking sound. I think it is normal? Am i correct? other then that the rocker arms seem real tight no up and down movement. Springs look intact. How do i tell if the lash adjuster are good?
the cam lobes feel smooth, and didnt feel any flat spots etc or noticeable.
here is a video of me feeling the rocker arms.
