This may very well be correct.  As I've often said -- if you can't hear the
valves in a TR3 then it isn't adjusted correctly.

My cam is stock so the clearance is .010 which makes a pleasant but noticable
"chitter" even with 20w50 Castrol.  Since your cam calls for .013 I would expect
your noise to be even more so.
