At 21 flats, preload is about .110"; I would expect some noise at that pre load. At 24 flats, preload will be about .125" which might quiet things down. At 26-28 flats, valve train should be quiet. You can try 24 flats and if valve train is noisy, more preload may help.

No stupid questions here. No, it doesn't make any difference.

Readjusted last night with 27 flats still seems noisy. Maybe I am hearing something else. But it only seems to be noisy when the motor is under load. I cant hear anything at an idle.

My all bore 107" motor makes plenty of noise on a cold start; however, when the motor is up to operating temps, quiet. Take a ride, like 50 miles or so and see how she sounds when everything is up to operating temps.
