Dear Metallo,

Valve noise is usually not that loud as there is valve cover/rocker cover on top of them. But do check anyway. Stone cold clearance is 0.35mm, hot is 0.40 (0.05 increase when hot).

But with the new rubber hushers (absorber) you'd have to force a bit on the feeler blade to slid them in.

The proper way is to dismantle the timing belt and camshaft again, lift all valve buckets with magnet, remove all those rubber hushers, install all back and do your clearance checking.

I still think its leaking exhaust. You may need a smoke machine to introduce smoke from tailpipe or use smoke producing product ie. Marvel mystery oil or Seafoam to visualize smoke coming around the exhaust area.
