Re: clickin pan
Sounds like hydraulic lifter(s) failing to pump up. Read the troubleshooting section of the '59-69 H-D manual or read through the JIMS material about their hydraulic adjustment and troubleshooting. Might give you some clues of where to start.

Re: clickin pan
Good advice from VT. Another thing to check is to see if the valve stem is hitting the pan cover. Get a mechanics stethoscope and touch it to the pan covers.
