Haven't heard it yet, but I know some of the engines which use theose bucket tappets cna give noise even if the clearance is right. My sprint always settles down when its hot

have you checked your toolbox since to make sure you haven't left a spanner in there?

My fiesta makes a noise a bit like that. But that's probably because it's a ford.

I can't tell you why it was making that noise
Ok then I will. the back 2 or 3 cam retainers were lose! the back one was about 3mms from the bottom one!
It's much quieter now all 4 pots are getting equal valve openings!
