Oh Boy!
Do I know about the SBC cam button. I built a small block many years ago when I worked at a Shell station. The noise drove me nuts (without the button). I didn't know whether it was a bearing or what. Wood stick stethoscope didn't find it. My boss, the other mechanic in our station and the other knowledgeable mechanics in town didn't have a clue.
I figured I'd have to pull the motor. My boss said, run it till it gets worse. I was changing the timing cover to a two-piece design to fix a small oil leak. pushed on the end of the cam and alas there was the noise!!

Thanks, Gary in N.Y.
P.S. Here's a shot of an easy way to avoid the cam or gear from making contact with the cover! That is a Comp Cams (SBC) nylon "button" with the end play checked and adjusted as needed!
