Default noisey when hot

I recently change the cam, cam plate, lifters and oil pump on my 04 electric glide with gear drive, it is a little noisier than stock so I change oil to Mobil 1, and it quiet down but when the motor gets hot from stop and go driving the noise defiantly increase to a point I can hear over my exhaust and Stereo. When listening with stethoscope the front cylinder valve train seems to be clattering like loose valves. When the motor cools down the noise lessen, could I have a miss adjusted push rod and what causes this if the lifters are adjusted correctly when cold and defined in the manual

Default RE: noisey when hot

Whats the oil pressure when it's loud? Does the noise decrease when you increase the rev's at a stand still. I trust it was at stand still when you checked with the doc stuff. If you don't have a oil guage borrow one. don't go by the idiot light. You said the front was making the racket, the back wasn't? if so sounds a little more towards adjustment side than oil unless you starving one side.
