you could try putting some wyns hydralic lifter oil if it is the lifters, works wonders and it about a fiver from halfords and this should elimanate the tappets from your searching and if you are doing it yourself try auto vaux for the parts they qouted me £10 cheaper than vaux main dealer with postage  

Sorry mate, I can't agree.

Stay away from oil additives at all costs

it worked on mine and you put it in drive for a few hundred miles then do an oil change, its designed to remove all the crap from inside the hydralic lifters so they can fill up properly and stop the tapperty noise, i dont run the engine with it in just used it to clean out the tappets then replaced oil and filter with vauxhall stuff

I'm with JamesV6CDX on that one, partly because using engine flush type stuff is potentially risky for the engine, but also because using this cleaning stuff isnt a sure fire fix anyway- what Im saying is that unless you are lucky and it fixes it then its diagnostic value is a bit iffy.  Can you rule out the manifold first?

Get a length of rubber tube, stick one end in an ear 'ole and poke the other end all around the suspect gasket, if it is the gasket or a cracked manifold then you should hear it quite clearly.
