If it's your valve train that is noisy you might remove the rocker arms and check them to see if they have worn in the area where they contact the valve.( They probably have) You can grind these smooth again and reset the clearances, which should help in the noise department.If you do grind them take note of the unworn area and try to maintain that radius They have a slight radius. Also do as the others have suggested.
