I think il re tighten my cam caps then recheck the valve clearances, what valve clearances do use guys set them up to? Im going on inlet 0.20-0.25 exh 0.25-0.28. If this doesnt solve il try the tensioner, but the rattlings there all the time throughout the rev range.
they're the valve gaps from the race kit manual. I tried them and one of the shims fell out.. Won't be doing that again.

You sure it's a top end rattle and not just a noisy clutch ?
