Recently pulled the head on my 4afe and replaced head gasket, valve stem seals and piston rings. Its running great now except there is excessive ticking coming from the valve cover that gets more aggresive as the revs increase. When rebuilding the engine, some of the shims got mixed up, im thinking this is the likely cause as the valve clearances will be all messed up. Anyone have any thoughts on what my next steps should be? Is it even worth taking the cams out again? Any help is appreciated thanks.

Valve ticking after engine rebuild

Lose is better than tight but you'd have to start from scratch and shim the valves to allow for wear and the shim mix-up.
You can also use a tool to avoid removing the cams, but if you have a lot of shims to move around it's quicker to actually remove the cams despite having to deal with the timing belt, tensioner, and re-doing the valve caps.
