Have you had the machinist who did the work listen to the engine? If there's a noise in the engine then something isn't right! People reading to the description of a noise (we all describe things differently) can do little more then render an educated guess, someone knowledgeable about what's been done inside the engine right there listening to it could probably pin point the problem quickly.
