Change your oil!!

They are hydraulic and a good oil change should quieten them down

it is an easy job if you know how to do it.

Take cam belt off, remove rocker cover. Take cam pullies off. Take dizzy off if fitted. Then remove caps off cams (noting which way they go) and the housing for the dizzy if fitted. Then whip the cams out and change the tappets. Refitting is the reverse but make sure you put the cam caps on in the right place and the right way round.

Oh and time it up properly
