noisy tappets help needed!

[Bazo187]

318i cab m40 with 127 on clock.

Had my car for 7 years now started ticking bad. Give it an engine flush new oli and
Tappet cleaner.

Helped abit but not much what's the best bet from this point?

[daimlerman]

Will it rev above 4500rpm under load?

[Bazo187]

Yeah drives bang on when warm

[Bazo187]

Still sounds abit tappety, but pulls like normal.

[daimlerman]

So the cam is not badly worn,could be that the lifters are draining oil and until they have re-filled themselves the valve gear will rattle a bit.

Need to get the timeing belt done, and I wana keep the car.

Do you reckon I should get a cam kit and oil spray bar change them all at the same time.

If so any recommendations on where the best place to get all the bits would be.
