The best possible course of action is to go put your feet up and have a beer. 99.7% sure the noise you heard was the exhaust manifold moving relative to the block as it cooled down. When you start to have a problem with overheating, bubbles in the coolant, burnt valves, or water in the oil, then you have a problem.

And if the manifolds are getting hot enough to be noisy, be sure to verify the flap in the exhaust manifold is working properly - if it is sticking closed, this will contribute to the manifolds getting HOT and you do NOT want to be cracking 356 exhaust manifolds...they are already prone to that without invitation.

Yes, the heat riser valve is free and functions properly. As am unable to start engine second time after valve job, will have to remove manifolds and check for crack. Had manifolds resurfaced as part of valve job so not expecting any problems.
Thanks
