How do you know for sure that this is the valves clacking? They wouldn't just NOT clack when it's cold and then all the sudden start clacking when they warm up.

If anything you should be hearing MORE noise when it's cold with valve clacking. You need to look at your oil.....

how high did the temp get?

What caused the heater hose to blow off? Was the car running to hot to start with? How hot did it get?
