noisy tappets after adjustment

Ive just adjusted my tappets and now the top end sounds like theres a tin of nails rattling around in there. I followed the manual to the letter and the play in the rocker arm was just a pain in the back end. I'm no stranger to tappets.

any ideas on why it sounds so bad? They were closed up pretty tight when I started. I didn't measure but using the middle gauge of each adjustment range wasn't ever going to fit ever.

Help guys! Im avoiding riding it at the moment.
