Slight tick from new CC pro-magnum rockers. Anything to worry about?

Finally got the car back together from my XE 224/230 cam install. The cam sounds awesome!!! Anyways, when I am driving if I listen as hard as I can I think I can slightly hear the rockers ticking. I have to listen real hard though to hear anything. Do the Pro-magnum rockers make a little more noise than the stockers or should I go another 1/4 turn and tighten them up some more?

The are what I would call "clickety". There will be more noise than the stockers.

mine make a kinda wild clicking sound that increases with RPM till my exhaust note over takes it. a click is normal but if the clack then you have a loose one.

I had one loosen up on me about a month ago (bad locks had to replace them). I could definitly hear a clacking from insde the car (no straighning to hear that). If you can barely hear them from inside the car that sound about right.

A slight "click" is good, a loud "clack" is bad

Mine have a very audible click from outside the car. Can't hear them inside. If you can't hear them outside, they are probably too tight. Mine were the first time I installed; it cost me time in the quarter.
