The clicking noise is still present- tightening the CCT made no difference (got it to 1 turn tighter and still no difference). Once it's past 4000 rpm the clicking noise is gone. Will just see how this goes... only thing I hadn't measured was valve guide diameter, but hopefully it's not that.
Checked the CCT again- this time on a cold engine (last time due to it being hot made it feel quite tight) and to my surprise it actually tightened about 1.5 turns more that how I left it when I rebuilt the engine! It doesn't seem as if it loosened it's self, so where did this extra slack (about 1.75mm) come from?
Taking that extra slack might have resolved the clicking noise, but I'll find out on the next ride (next few days).
Also checked the coolant level- the radiator level is exactly where I left it. Can't remember what the reservoir level was though...
