New Engine, Now Hear 'Click Click' Sounds Like Click Click Click, from INSIDE The Cabin. You can hear it best when inside the car.
I videoed it, the under hood video saounds Louder at first than it is because I stuck the camera right into the engine compartment.
It was Never This Loud Before. Anything that sounds like something is wrong or can be fixed?

Also, my heads were just slightly shaved down to clean them up when they were reworked. Just FYI.
Keep the replies comming. Does this sound normal?

UPDATE 2
Went to the shop that installed it and they listened to it. The valve noise, as I said, wasn't that bad as in the video, really. The ticking sound that was bugging me they said is NOT the ValveTrain, it is the exhaust hitting part of 'something' and it is causing vibration and thus, is making that ticking noise.
They said they probably just need to tighten the center section of my headers/exhaust and all should be fine.
I feel relived now :thumbs:

IT IS FIXED!!!!!!! 
Believe it or not it was My Skinny Metal Purge Tube!!!
It was resting on an injector or something under the fuel rail covers and causing it to amplify this clicking sound inside the car.
They just moved it slightly and the sound is gone and the car runs smooth and quiet with the new 346!
YEAH
