Fit the spare tappets as diagnosis.
I think camshaft damage would be very unlikely, certain in the short term...

option 5:

give it to a garage and tell them to fix the bloody thing regardless of cost instead of moaning about it  :afro:

I don't think a semi will give the same results

IMO

hydralic tappets are to be fair to them very reliable littel animals,   very rarely do they suddenly fail and  they tend to develop indevidualy.

the fact that the whole lot have suddenly decided to fail very quickly makes me wonder what caused them to fail,    the same goes for camshafts  it is very uncommon to get a sudden failure of all the lobes   on or two will go.

the question is  is the cylinder head actualy getting any oil as that is the only thing that is coommon to everything

just out of curiosity, whats wrong with your spare engine? could you not fit that?

I was just going to throw that one in there  :cool: clearly just throw the other one in than the removed engine could be rebuilt in the garage by yourself  :cool:

Chuck in the spare engine is what I'd do to.

Khare, - IF i could do the job mesen, trust me I would, and simple as increasing tyre pressures for track days maybe  :rolleyes:

DPB - Option 2 was a trial free fix - is successful then new ones would be purchased  :wink:

Danny, its gradually got worse over time ( like 2 years ) and been advised not to drive to much incase the lifter goes completely and takes out the camshaft lobe  :wink: as said they think its 2 if not 3 in one area ( but noise travels )

Chris - Funds mate - funds  :lipsrsealed:

A8quat - i dont think the cams are damaged, i just dont want a failure of a lifter lifting to lobe damage - and as per Khare, if a medical condition alllowed, trust me i would be doing it mesen - as i do with 95 % of other jobs I do on mine and other cars / bikes.

Johnson, Robbed for spares and a snapped manifold stud flush  :lipsrsealed:

Horney, spare engine fitemnt isnt an option, and DH wouldnt talk to me again, ABF will be sourced if i rmove the lump as a last resort.

Option 2 is purely to clarify the fault. if it cures my issues then i will just fit all new lfiters ready for sale,  :kiss:

Adam - you know , we discussed it before  :tongue: and are you going wednesday - DCO meet ?
