ticking noise after rebuild?

[smw450r]

I just rebuilt my o5 honda 450r i went with a new wiseco hot rods crank and a baldwins 12.5/1 and a new clyinder ok this is my question after my rebuild it fired up 2nd kick haven't had any problems with it, but the motor is making a ticking noise i don't believe it's valves i believe its just piston slap,but i was wondering if anybody else has ran a baldwins piston and also had this happen its not really loud but queit abit louder than stock, i just was wondering kindof nervous about it thks for any help

did you check the cam chain i just replaced mine, it was kinked up in 4 different spots, once i put a new chain in the ticking seem to of went away

Did you put in a high performance cam. High performance cams make a ticking noise.

nope didn't put an aftermarket cam in, not yet anyways, but i'll start with the timing chain and see how that does thanks for the help guys

We had a problem where The wieght on the end of the cam for the decompressor was sticking and it was making a ticking noise.

Is it only at idle, because if the idle is to low the decomp. weight wont fling out shutting off the decomp mechanism causing a ticking noise
