    I doubt that there are any 2 cylinder blocks in the world where the tappet bores are at exactly the same angle to the cam. Using the old cam and lifters in the same block at rebuild usually won't work and it most certainly ain't gonna work in a different block in my opinion.

    My guess is that you had the vales adjusted too tight, thus the noise and the excessive wear.
