sure, larger valve clearances will make a tick or clack from the head. Take a screwdriver and put the tip on the valve cover, put the butt end up to your ear and you should be able to hear right inside that cover. The clearances are adjustable via shims.
well ive checked the clearences and they were all in clearance not saying they were but the mechanic said that so i went for his word maybe just worn shims?? lol im new to valves.
did he write them down? and hes suppose to do it with the engine cold IIRC...
and his idea of 'good' is probably different front the TSRM's idea of 'good'...

it was dead cold motor at the time we went by the thickness on the chart from the bottom of the hood
Check the torque on your cam saddles. I had this exact problem when my torque wrench took a dump. I had not got them tight enough and it made that exact same knock sound.
I'd bet the farm that's what your problem is.

i bet a few's just loose. you'd have to adjust your valves. threres a valve adjusting tool with a whole bunch of thickness' that you'd have to use. its pretty simple and easy.
Loose cam saddles will produce a very noticable and noisy knock. Also is it a knock or a click? 7M heads do make a clicking noise when in working order, just how they are.
