Default annoying valvetrain tick

i have 1.7RR's on my GT-40 heads and after doing so i have a tick on the passenger side. i know its on the number 4 cylinder because for some reason it seemed to want 2 shims.... that was the closest i could get it.

is it possible to get a tick if they are too tight. meaning the pre-load is too much... i know it can happen if it is not enough (valve float). but this happens at all RPM's. obviously it gets faster as the RPM's climb.

what should i do? what would be the best way to adjust them? because it has 2 shims and only some of the others have 1 should i take a shim out to see if that helps? i have no idea why one cylinder would be that far out...

please help!

thanks,
adam
