occasional rattle after head gasket replaced

hi, i have a 97 900set. replaced heater core o-rings and the head gasket and had the head cleaned and checked. they shaved it about .008 and put new freeze-out plugs in it. put back together over the hottest weekend in cincinnati history. everything went great and on sunday it fired right up. drove it around for about 20 minutes and it ran great. parked it and checked fluids and the coolant was low which i expected so i let it cool down and added more. drove it some more and let it sit for the night. got in today and drove to work and every now and then when i accelerate i would hear a light rattle that would only last for a moment, not even last thru the acceleration. timing chain looked good and the tensioner wasnt out the full 11mm. did not have this rattle before the head gasket was done. any help would be appreciated
