Did you change them? What make are they? When was your oil last changed?
I've had my INA ones years, and they still sound fine, even on first start up.

Try Autovaux next time bud. Did you see what make they are?
If I was you, check to make sure the belt has been done. Are you sure it's the tappets making the noise?

Would have been cheaper to buy another engine / car!

shims? on hydraulics? :confused:
it could well be the cams re so worn been the new lifters will be noisy, but its doubtful, cheap/unbranded lifters are always noisy ime
