Honda "enthusiasts" always argue about the oil pump slack being rhe cause of the buzzing. In my opinion its either the chain or the clutch basket springs located in the rear of the basket, which are designed to reduce shock during engagement. If I had to guess about the ticking youre hearing Id wager that some valves need their clearances adjusted. That garage looks cold, I respect the commitment.
I ended up making a manual tensioner because it was the timing chain that still had slack, it’s now gone away, but I’m tearing apart the bike to replace the timing chain I’ve somehow created an exhaust leak on one cylinder, not a big deal though
I would of struggled with the job without removing the engine. Also, get a front stand for that bike. It makes for an easy day. Lastly, hit me up for a Service Manual. It get a lot easier.
I would double check forums but from what I remember you need to line the crank by lining the t up with the notch on the crank case, you do need the side casing on to time the engine with the he cover removed, the cam gears should be lined up facing away from each other on the head using the notches on the cam gears should

@Jager_M I'm confused? The vid says it was the oil pump chain? Can you describe the sound you were hearing?

Yeah I plan to get a front frame stand along with a rear one but I didn’t have one at the time.
How do I time the cams?

I would recommend looking on 600rr.net, that’s where I found my info
