I must have missed the point that the engine rebuild was done 30 years ago, and not run much since! That's key information and yes, surely the problem could be sticking valves though it's just as likely that its rust on the stems as varnish. Regardless, you have a good chance of having it clear up by just running the engine enough, aided perhaps by judicious use of "snake oil".
