I'm glad to know this.  I have installed two rebuilt engines in my TR6 this year and thought both of them had excessive valve clatter - despite adjusting the valves several times.  There was some 'stuff' on my original timing cover, but I removed that because it looked messy.  Maybe I'll add some other material to deaden the sound.  Thanks for sharing your experiences, Dan!
