Nah it would not make any difference at all

The noise is coming from the other side of the valve (the stem side) because there is a gap caused by a misbehaving lash adjuster.

Flashlube only protects the valve seat inside the combustion chamber

and boy isn't it just the feeling of a job well done when you replace these HVLA's in an EA82!
