Welcome. There are sections specific to your model. I think thats where you would post technical questions.
I dont know for sure, but some chatter Could be valve lash. Might need adjustment. (If they are adjustable) Good luck with your build.

Welcome to the Forum from Colorado!
Go to the Shovelhead area and at the top left of the main column there should be a tag where you can start a new thread or post a question.
