you may have a damaged valve, or broken spring....
the buckets may look ok visually, but there may still be a damaged lifter there. lifters often make a clacking type noise when they are no good. try pulling them out one by one and try to compress them, if there is one that you can squeze with your fingers then that one is no good. you shouldnt be able to compress them with your hands.
thats what i would be checking out, the comp test came up ok which is a good thing for you. probably not a damaged ring then.
