Default Engine problems...part 2

I posted a few days ago about a rocker coming loose...
http://www.clubcobra.com/t47935.html
I've put the rocker back on, adjusted it (checked the pushrod as well) and it starts and runs fine, problem is I seem to have a rattle ! it seems to be coming from the camshaft area. It's only slight, but I'm sure its there. If I rev the engine to about 2,000rpm I'm getting a noise as well.
The engine has a stroker crank, h-beam rods, stud girdle, world windsor sr heads etc. I thought I'd built it to last but now I'm just so da** depressed about it.
A friend of mine (who hasn't listened to it yet) thinks I'm just being paraniod. What the h**l could it be?
Thanks in advance
Simon
