Ideas on what's causing my click/tick/rattle noise?

I know one head has a rear bolt that is stepped, the other is a plain bolt. My 82 truck FSM clearly shows the stepped bolt for the rear of the rocker shaft.

That's the correct bolt to use with the hydraulic head. The stepped bolt. Interestingly enough, my "unicorn" closed chamber head from 1977 has that same stepped bolt.
