Wow, have the valves been adjusted? If not they may need to be. Was there any damage to the head when it blew? (Warpage, valve damage)

unadjusted valves can sound realy bad almost like a rode knock, check it out.

Ok the original head was cracked I was told and the rods had melted so everything is new. I will have the cars valves adjusted Thank you soooo Much for that advice. Can the valves affect the way the oil pressure is? Which At the moment I was told I have NONE. If the valves are not adjusted does this affect the timing and would this also affect smoke be it very little for me not to pass emissions? Thank you again for all your help and knowlege.
