Light ticking from the valves is normal on an air cooled engine, especially a big thumper, and especially when it is hot. If you don't hear them a little, you're probably too tight. You can use a long screwdriver as a stethiscope, metel to engine/handle up to your ear, to hear where the ticking is comming from. Valves will be o.k., if it's around the cam chain, you need to check it. You will hear the chain running thru the gears, it should have a slightly slushy metallic whirly sound, that should be normal too. If the chain has a clickity, tick, it may be too worn.
