Default Zetec valve guides question

Building up a Zetec Turbo head for someone and found that the valves in the head have a bit of side to side play in them ( about 1.5mm ) now would that be okay considering the about of heat there is with a turbo on it? I know the valves will expand a little in head and take up the some of play.
