Ticking/clicking From Rebuilt Engine

[R32skyline93]

Hi

i Had my R32 Converted to Rb25 rebuilt engine and gearbox the engine has

JE 1mm o/s pistons

H beam eagle heavy dutyConrods

Hks metal head Gasket 16mm

etc

Now one thing that is really bothering me is that it seems to be ticking/clicking rather loudly on idle and as revs go up you can hear it with bonnet down and standing 5 feet away but not while driving except on idle

now i brought this up to the mechanic and he was in a rather bad moodtrying to do to many things at once which iam getting sick of and said its becasue of the Clearences and is nothing to worry about

now i dont think its just me but if engine is ticking something must be up?

or is this a common thing becasue of the pistons and large clearences?

see i go to a mechanic cause i dont know much about cars and expect that they will do the job right

now im just frustsrated and am not driving the car much and will be bringing it up again when all my bushes/suspension gets done at the same place

so my question is this a common thing ? due to clearences or pistons? or whatever it is

thanks for any input

i am no expert on the issue, but generally ticking or knocking noises indicate something is rooted good and proper. does the car use oil? try to figure out where the noise is coming from. i have been told that a fan belt bearing can make ticking noises, but if its coming from the engine then is a fair bet you have a problem.

also, the mechanics response indicates he is trying to avoid the issue.

Could be a lifter? "usually" goes away once the car has warmed up though and the oil becomes more viscous... I'd be hoping thats all it is.

yeah i was thinking it was lifters at first but it seems to happen once the car has warmed up dunno its all been balanced and blueprint assembly i think it has large clearences thats something along the lines he said was the reason its frustrating to spend all the money and it ticks

im going to be asking him to explain better on what it is

its qite a good workshop so i do have faith im just unsure

can this be common if the engine is built as more of a race engine than standard?

going to get it going at 200/220kw after turbo upgrade and computer then go up from there as i get used to the power but i want to make sure its all good before i go pushing it

cheers

it might even be something as small as the power steering pump. mine was ticking/clicking loud on idle.
