Welcome to fte.
Who did the valve job? The motor was most likely not put back together correctly.

These engines did have sludge issues. Do you know if the rockers were getting oil before the repairs?

If the engine has decent oil pressure: Make sure the rubber D ring is on the lower end of the steel tube that carries oil to the rocker shaft. This is the tube that runs down thru the head and into the block. I believe it is at the rear rocker pedestal. Was the rocker shaft disassembled and cleaned? And was it assembled correctly?
Excuse my bad manners, but welcome to FTE.
