excesive rattle from the cylinder heads

Hey Guys.
I´m the happy owner of a ´77 R 100 RS. It´s built in September ´76 but it is the ´77 model. Recently, I got it back from a yearly service done at my local BMW Motorrad dealership, but as I got it back, I noticed an exesive rattling from the cylinder heads. I checked with the mechanics, and they had set the valve gaps at 0,10 mm (intake) and 0,15 mm. (exhaust), and so, I´m unable to find a reson for the excesive rattling. Perhaps you know what might be wrong?
Thanks in advance /Laysh
