Did you torche the bolts to spec? If you over tighten them the rocker arms will tap the valve cover. Maybe need a new gasket also if it is too compressed.

i didn't torque the bolt to spec, i probably over torque, cause i was ruuning fine with the old valve cover and i didn't toutch the rocker arm or anything i just swap valve cover and it started to sound like that i'll try and loose the bolts a bit tomorrow and see what happend, and if i beed a new valve cover gasket where can i get one? i kinda thought about the rocker arm hitting the valve cover
