That engine has adjustable chain tensioners. That may solve all your noise problems. Be sure you know how to adjust the ones on your bike before starting.

Set the engine to top dead center for number one cylinder. As you remove the rocker covers, take pictures of their position.

If you move it you will need a shop manual and some time to get it right. Good luck.
