Default Clicking noise heard:( HELP

Ok I am finishing up the partial rebuild of my short block but now when I rotate the crank I'm hearing a clicking sound that I think is coming from the rings <img src="gr_sad.gif" border="0"> Its been I very long time since I've had an engine stripped down this far so I can't remember if this is normal since the rings haven't seated yet. PLEASE tell me everything is fine, I don't want to buy anything else that I don't want <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

NOT THE DOCTOR OF MOTORS, but I've built a few. Clicking sounds are not good.IMO. Changed anything? pistons, cam, ect, ect. Rings were checked?

Man I'm starting to get a little frustrated now, I don't want to take ANY chances after the last episode. So I'll probably pull EVERYTHING apart and do it the right way <img src="gr_sad.gif" border="0"> Man I starting to get tired of spending all this damn money just I can get to where I should have been without the benefits of driving the car every once in a while

Is there any aftermarket rings and bearings availible for these engines yet?

I think you need to get your car done so I can live through yours for a little bit

Well so far it looks to be around another $300 or so to replace the rings, main and rod bearings and the rod bolts <img src="gr_sad.gif" border="0"> So much for that weather station I wanted to get
