I did them in firing order, that is, I adjusted the valve whose cam lobe was next in line, saving me from having to wear out my arm rotating the crankshaft.

The only thing to do now is recheck them, which I am about to do. Could the noises be an intake valve that is too loose (too much clearance). On one or two, the 0.1 mm feeler slid in very easily, but I didn't want to mess with it, so I left them alone. But then, I never got these noises before...
