Finally got my new slant cylinder head lapped and installed. Seems to have alot more power now then it did but i noticed when i have the clutch lever pulled in there in a rattling coming from engine. It may have been like that before i just was listening to it more now to see if head was ok. Anyone have any ideas what it is? Im pretty sure its clutch related but cant pinpoint it.

More than likely just clutch rattle, all mine do it, still makes me look over things even after I know what it is...LOL

Nope.
You can add sound deadening material to the inside of the covers. That will quiet things down alot.

Or your piston could be hitting your head. I had it happen once when I first started playing around with lowering the cylinder deck. I lowered it just a CH too far & although the engine still ran very well there was that noise. I remember that it was louder when I wasn't moving & I had the clutch in. That's what leads me to think you may be experiencing the same.
Was the rattling noise preset at all before took off some of the head? Pull the head off and check to see if there's any contact points on the head & cylinder.
If it is hitting you can try adding another head gasket to see if that solves the problem. Of you could try adding another (or a thicker) base gasket. This will change the timing though, and it may not be exactly what you're looking for.
You'll never know until you try though. Good luck getting to the bottom of it.
