SOLVED: HORRIBLE annoying engine tick after heads and cam. Need help!!

I agree with the last post ,possible it had the oversized lifter bore ,what did the block say on it in the serial#

or does your head have valve seats in it ,when there loose and moving they sound just like a lifter tap

engine serial # pad left bank, is there a diamond symbol stamped on the block? If so, one or more lifter bores are oversized.
