Well, the engine used to be "clattery" at any temp (more when cold),
but after replacing the PCV, cleaning the TB, replacing idle screw
gasket, plugging vacuum leaks and adjusting the valve clearances, it's
a lot quieter now (idle RPM is now within spec). But I was wondering if
there was anything else I could have missed.

What makes some engines more quiet than others (given roughly the same
specs)?
