The later generation ones above fit perfectly and are the same size (many people have done the upgrade both here and in the US), and due to the larger hole, don't have the "ticking" problem you are experiencing.
But, it would pay to let one of us other Brissy guys have a listen just to make sure it is the lifters. And check your oil level too in case it's gotten a bit too low and your lifters are just politely letting you know.
That makes sense. I rather be sure then buying something I don't need. Anyone near my area south side Brisbane, near Runcorn I'll be happy to drive to your place if you can check it out for me
I remember when I put the engine in and filled up the fluids it took a full bottle of oil but it was bone empty. I did check it a month ago.. it was half full.
