My GZE's Tappet noise

My mechanic says this is my tappets making a noise due to not having sufficient lubrication..

'tock'???? Does it sound like all 16 of them, because if there was such a thing as a lube problem that would cause valve noise, it would do it to most if not all of them.
Is there any reason to think that the oil temp too high, like 200C/350F? Can you spit on the sump & see it sizzle, or can you put your fingers on it briefly?


Your mechanic thinks your engine has hydraulic lifters & your mechanic is a useless BS'er and should be avoided!!!!!!!!!
