    i've heard engines make a tick or tap at a certain rpm before and everything was fine.
    If it's an obvious noise and just too loud to be considered valvetrain noise, well that's your decision.

    but you can even get a stock engine to make noise ever so slightly.

    I am not really familiar with checking preload. Why is it required, what does it tell you, and what does it do, rather than just torqueing to spec. ( I torqued everything and triple checked it).

    Go over to ls1tech and do a search. There are alot of threads on preload. The preload will be changed by different length pushrods. You will need to use a pushrod checker to get the proper preload.
