Default 3 door cosworth noisy top end

i recently built my yb from a new block, crank, pistons, rods, the problem i have is the engine sounds great when cold. but when warm theres a rattle from the top end when backing off the revs. had new followers but sill the same. when booting it it sounds very cammy. any suggestions,

its been suggested as timming as its running bd10,s and verniers. want to make sure as ive booked it in on wed to have the timming checked. but as you may know ive had all sorts of suggestions from little ends, piston slap or poor valve springs very confusing.
