I have adjusted mine time and time again they are just noisy tappets, mine were quiet for about 2 days then started to become ticky again most people I know with TD42's have noisy tappets. You get used to it.

Tey get a lot of top end wear.
Fix is to buy new rocker arms and shafts.
It also helps if you adj using a thin feeler gauge so it doesnt ride on the unworn part of the rocker arm face..
