Default noisy tappet sound

i still cannot work it out,the cylinder is ok checked everthing out on it and it is spot on. before i took the cylinder head off to rebuild my engine it was perfect now up to 2000 revs it makes a clicking sound,it sounds like it is only one clicking,when it goes past 2000 it goes and the engine sounds brilliant , what else do you think could make this sound because its so annoying,an when you rev it up standing still its perfect thats why i dont think its the tappets any ideas please

its like a lightish sound everthing on the cylinder head is spot on newmancam,solid lifters all checked for the right gaps,rockers ok,nuts tightened to the correct torque,well oiled and the rest,like i said it only comes in when i pull away as soon as i hit 2000 revs it clears
