What kind of roller rockers are you running? Which cam, and which valve springs? Did you install stock or hardened pushrods? My bet is the tick is due to a valvetrain problem, either a dead lifter, bent pushrod, or improperly setup rockers. As for the break in oil, you should have run the new engine with the break in oil, drained it after 20 minutes of running (while still warm) then change the oil and filter. I changed my oil 3 times in the first week, twice the first day and a third the end of the week. Change the oil, it should help with the initial startup tick..... trust me you need to do this before driving the car anymore as it will prevent any further damage. Good luck! As for clutches, maybe the disc is fried. I'm running a King Cobra disc with a weighted CF pressure plate and it feels and grabs great.

OK, this is gonna sound a little weird, but it'll explain your knocking at start-up....

What oil filter were you using before you changed the oil? Some oil filters are notorious for having a certain defect.....they don't hold their oil when the car is turned off, it all drains back down into the pan, and then whenyou go to start it it's a very dry start....knock knock
