The clanking sound in the lifters is probably because they're empty of oil, or have some air in them. it SHOULD go away in the first few minutes of running. Just keep it at idle, dont rev it, until it goes away. I know it's nerve-wracking, just letting it run making noise, but you should hear them stop making noise one by one.

In case you're not really familiar with it, the fuel injectors do make a fairly loud ticking when they go on and off, but that's normal. The injectors sometimes sound somewhat like lifters ticking
