Replaced all my rockers after having a top end ticking iv thought before I mite have had a cam shaft on its way out but when I did my head gaskets I did find one of the steel pads was breaking up so I new that wasn't good. I'm kicking my self for not replacing the rockers when I did the heads but there you go.
Symptoms were...
1) ticking constant warm or cold
2) no loss of power at all
3) ticking on driver bank sounded like x2 tappets x1 on passenger side

So before I went ripping out the cam bit of research I found the rockers a common problem with the push rod caps in the rockers wearing out so x16 new rockers bought and this morning I went delving in and replaced the lot.

I'm happy to report I have a very quiet engine no tapping/ticking at all

No just standard leads think from p38 spares and they turned out to be **** part leads but a dam site better than the ones I fitted from island 4x4 which were all breaking down at the coil pack end
