    Description of the noise would be helpful.......

    If it's a howl it's like the starter clutch isn't disengaging.

    the timing pointer that passes the pickup coils might be making contact. Just did my top end and as soon as I started it was clear. I'm sure you turned the crank a million times when doing the valve clearances, and probably bumped the pickup w/ the wrench
