The noise will die down typically in 100-1000 miles. If swapping the DV's didn't cure the skip/wobble/miss, be looking for another issue, probably valves not sealing properly due to wear or worn guides.
Wouldn't that come up in a compression test? I was within the 10% tolerance.

No skip or miss... it *sounds* like a healthy idle.
