Yep, leave them as the next set you put in will be the same...

Try a thinner oil, see how that goes first.

Otherwise you could remove the cams and swap out the lifters then put it all back together... I don't know if you'll need to remove the engine from the MY engine bay or not, you'll work that out on your own.

whether to do it or how to go about it ?

I noticed exchange units mentioned at about $6 or $8 outright each on a US site. Seen em here for as much as 70 bucks each

if you asking advice, tell a bit more to get a better answer maybe ?

have you tried replacing the oil pump seals? usually quietens them down unless they're really worn

nah i might have to give that a try but at the moment i cant drive it because the noise is so loud that i can hear it from 50m away so im going to change lifters and then if that dont help might change the oil pump seal
