If you do need new valves nothing will be as good of quality and fit as OEM.

i am almost positive that your right because i had to take the head off anyway because i had to bring it back to a machine shop where they did my valve seals a couple weeks ago for me because they were all smashed up already because someone didnt do their job right (i think they were b series seals anyway!!)
and i was just going to have them check everything on the head while it was there anyway.. any who, as i was taking the head off, i usually loosen the rocker arm adjusting bolts before i remove the camshafts and on 2 of them i noticed the bolts were VERY loose. to the point where i could have un done them with my fingers.. i then looked closely and noticed the screw was all the way up on them!!.....
so in conclusion,my theory as to what happened is the bolts on 2 of my rocker arms werent tightened down good enough and when i over revved my car it must have made the clearance get all screwed up, thus causing the noise i was hearing... so a good lesson learned, make 100% sure ALL the bolts are tightened to the proper specs or you can have a stupid problem like this happen... thanks guys.
im going to put the head back on in about a week or so when i get my arp head studs im about to order, so hopefully i wont hear that noise again because it was REALLY LOUD.
