Any arythm means they're not _all_ clacking.

[Hold the above - it assumes the valve springs were released]

The official procedure is to run the engine until the radiator fan
has run twice.  Remove the cam cover, turn each cylinder in turn to
TDC (firing) when the lobes are uppermost.  Press on the lifter with
something made of WOOD or PLASTIC - more than 0.1mm movement before the
valve starts to open is a failure.
