Default Noisy valve train

Before I did the motor swap I had a head job with with a new valve train. I notice that my valve train is a bit noisier than normal. I did valve adjustment 3 times already and the noise still loud. Is it because the valve train is still in the breakin period so its noisy. My car got about 500 miles on it. Anyone know after a while this valve train will become a bit quieter??

Theres no break in period for valvetrain. How's your oil level? Low oil levels can cause noisy valvetrain. It's either that, or you aren't doing the valve adjustment properly.

Oil level is always top notch. Just had another oil change today again and still doing it.

Are you sure its the valves and not just injector tick?
