Valve noises - normal?

["Radley, Jack" <JackR@SHRIVERCO.COM>]

I just had the valves on my 76 TR6 adjusted.  The car now sounds a little
like an industrial strength sewing machine.  Is this the normal sound of a
properly adjusted TR6?  There are no "abnormal" sounds, just a lot of
mechanical ticking of the valves.  My new mechanic (who I feel does know his
stuff) says that's what I should hear.  Otherwise, car runs great.
