Radiator/pipe banging
I also tried a different vent rite to make sure that one wasn't broke.

Unlikely. The #4 is already really really small--if a radiator with a #4 on it is too hot too soon I'd just put a blanket on it.
I think you didn't notice the bump before but after changing the vent you are more vigilant and looking for a causeNJ Steam Homeowner.

Does it hurt to have a radiator pitched to much?0

Past a certain point it doesn't help...I think the only real concern I would have is the amount of stress on the supply piping or the valve union.

Why did you want to reduce the already-very-slow venting rate of this radiator?

Because its in a small room that has 3 interior walls and stays pretty warm and gets about 2-3 degrees hotter then the rest of the house.0

OK very good, yeah try the blanket.
but to reiterate to your actual question, I don't think the vent caused your thump.
Or even try rotating the vent upside down to disable it from passing air (the MoM will work for this, and most others)NJ Steam Homeowner.
