Not continuing to rotate until intake is almost closed exhaust may have not been quite on base circle and be the source of your light clacking (not quite enough preload). I don't know, just a thought.

It says(word for word) to rotate the engine in the normal direction of rotation until the exhaust valve begins to open. At this point adjust the intake valve to zero lash with no pre load at the lifter, then tighten one more half turn. Rotate the engine again until the intake valve has fully opened. Now you can adjust the exhaust valve to zero lash, then 1/2 more turn. Repeat this procedure until each cylinder is completed.
I'll go back over it and make sure the intake valve is closing when I set the exhaust.
