depends how bad it really is, could you live with a rattle. would seem a shame to bugger up another good car for maybe one rattling follower. also, sure its not the injection thats tapping/ticking. just a thought. i have a good set of (98)cams & followers for a 2.5, im sure a deal could be done on your spare  one so to speak, if its an estate.  ::)

When you swop them, you may be able to flush/clean out
the lifters before you put them in the old mig...

i guess you have tried the usual fix of 2 or 3 quick oil changes? Use VX OIL 10/40 semi synth. Cured mine.

Then sell the old mig, without changing any engine parts.
With the money you make buy yourself a new set of lifters for the new mig...
Better to put your hard work and money into the mig you are going to keep and run...
