Had full engine overhaul (rebore, pistons, rings, head etc) plus recon injectors (new nozzles). Whilst out fitted straight through middle section so now only one silencer box. Runs wells but seems to be very noisy! Have adjusted tappets, twice and it is all timed fine. Seems to be a slight metallic clatter, but only when accelerating, so fine on tick over, Also seems to get better when engine warm after about 10 mins or so. Seems to be from top of engine towards rear (clutch end), Any suggestions? Could be its just a different sound to what I am used to or could it literally be new injectors popping as they should??!
 
Can sometimes get a metallic sound from exhuast heat shield near manifold, orr from exhaust manifold not having fully sealed on reassembly - usually more noticeable when accelerarting
