 What has been done in the past to this action(grand) was all the Jack Buttons
 were changed, and that 'seemed' to make the customer happy for awhile..but 
now
 she is unhappy again, and the 'click' is back - I needled a couple of 
buttons,
 but that's not the problem.
 
 any ideas/suggestions for a Rook? .. I'm guessing the Whippen flanges need 
to be
 re-bushed/re-pinned...?

If the key clicks when it comes to rest on the back rail, then there is no 
connection with the jack buttons (regulating buttons). If you are referring 
to the wippen cushion, (the felt that sits on the capstan screw), then when 
you "voiced" it, the click should have been reduced. But since it didn't make 
any difference, then that is not the problem. 

My first inclination would be to check the hammer rest rail. If that rail 
isn't tightened down, when the hammer shanks hits it, it will cause a click.
