I hadn't read this post but a friend mentioned it last night and sugested a loose valve seat. I tend to agree.

Sounds a bit like my mystery clatter which despite a total cylinder head overhaul ( new seats and guides) still pops up every so often. It sounds like a dramatically loose tappet but isn't at an even beat. My plan is to keep riding until it reveals itself in a fundamental fashion because I'm buggeed if I can find out what it is.

I wish there was an edit function for a posted comment

just a thought but are you sure your getting lube up there

Thanks again to all who replied. I have managed to pull my back, old age! so I am in no fit condition to remove the rocker covers which is where the noise is coming from, and as pointed out not the tappets, thank you, I new you new what I meant ! As suggested I think it is a guide or rocker at fault. When I am able to bend down ! will let you know what it is.
Thanks again for all of your replies Its good to know that someone is there to help and that you are not alone.
Kind regards
ROBERT
