Nothing worse than having a problem return after getting excited about the fix. I am assuming that you checked the A/C idler pulley with your stethoscope. They rattle just like you describe.
If that's not it and the noise is only near the firewall, maybe it's still a problem with the valves near that end of the engine. When the head was rebuilt, did they do a valve job? It is possible that too much was trimmed from the valve stem on one or more of the valves. You need to pull the valve cover, cams to remove lifters, put cams back in w/o lifters and measure the clearance between the end of the valve stem and the cam surface for consistency..really a machine shop issue. Good luck.
