Yep, i know these are tappety and sound like a handfull of nails in a cement mixer. And i know they wear the cams, also the buckets that ride on the cams, ive had them wear right through before.
The clearances were only a little bit out, you couldnt really hear much difference after adjusting them.
The lift was good, and the gas check was good too. The engine isnt flat, just sometimes misses a beat and sometimes drops a cylinder for a second or so.
But resetting the clearances didnt cure the fault and i still have to pull the engine apart to cure the compression and oil loss problem.
