Apart from the mis matched valve styles, I am seeing signs of water getting into both sets of middle cylinders,,,,the clean valve heads are a dead giveaway.
My suggestion....before you spend any money adding screw in studs, have these heads fully dismantled, acid dipped and fully checks for cracks.
Also check the center two cylinders in the block...can almost guarantee the pistons tops will have much less carbon on them.
If the heads have no cracks, add up the costs of 16 new valves, 16 new guides, new springs and retainer sets including locks etc, plus engineering costs and machining the head surface to make sure it is flat.The compare that amount to the cost of a new set of aftermarket heads....you may be surprised.
Also check the cam lobes for wear, equal lift, good faces on the lifters etc...
IMHO, The head work done during the build points to using what was in the shop that day as far as parts were concerned....you deserve better than that...heck, everyone does....
