As for valves, they shouldn't be making that kind of noise. Have you gone through the torque and retorque process as the head gaskets settle in? Not sure about the R51/3, but you also need to check the end float on the rocker arms. There should be no excess up and down movement on the rocker arms...you should just see a squeezing of oil film where the rockers meet the blocks.

If that is the problem, this company in Canada can resleeve the bores. They have a good reputation.....or of course you could replace the carbs.
