It sounds like it has no oil up top, take the valve cover off & then start it up for a few seconds & see if it's getting oil up top. If so, tripple check that cam, if it's a regrind it will probably need more shims.

Cheers

My engine sounded like that when I replaced my lifters but subsided once they bled down. are they new or near new?
The reason I ask is ages ago I thought a 2nd hand set would do the trick and it sounded exactly like that -clack, clack, clack- until I slapped in a new set.

The oil passages in the rockers and shafts are quite small, might be blocked too.

I think we might have a winner. This will be quite noisy. Make sure it is tentioned properly!
