I had the same result. I set them just a hair over 3 turns and it's a good deal quieter. Not totally silent, but I don't mind a slight tick since it only does it around 2200-2300 rpm and I don't spend much time there anyway.

Mine rattled like hell for a few minutes too, as soon as the lifters pumped up good it was fine.
