My AFR combo with SVO 1.6's and a 2030 cam made the sewing machine noise at first, but it went away after a few weeks of driving. I tore it apart a few times to get the lifter preloaded better (stud mounts) and it fixed the loose lash in a few rockers, but not the general noise. All the other combo's I've built for people over the years didn't make any noise. If you've checked everything a dozen times and it's all fine except the noise maybe you just need to take a step ack and drive it for a while.
I'm putting it together again after replacing the head gaskets so I'l see if it's noisy again tonight at startup.
