can anyone tell me if the engines have hydraulic lifters, there are manual adjusters on the tappets, but one is still rattling like it has not been adjusted properly (i have done them twice) stops rattling once it is warm

Er Answered your own question there, I would be looking for worn rocker shaft (fairly common at that age)

Check the rocker on that part of the shaft, back in the olden days we used to flip the shaft over in Zephyrs etc but I dont think thats possible on a TD, either that orvalve seat recession / burnt valve / et al

Also check the rocker arm face that pushes the valve down, have repaired many that have worn where the valve stem contacts, you end up with the valve stem recessing into the rocker.
