Scratch that. Mace bolts say torque to 23ft/32nm. Those are the bolts I used.

Blue racers are really good. They are only 200 and free postage off eBay.
Still in there, still goes. But I found its actually cam chain slack in the end. It helped some of the ticking though.
Best thing I found to easily find out if it's the chain is to have load on the engine, lift off the throttle and see if it rattles, if it does its the chain. 296k with the rattle for at 100k. Doesent seem any worse than it was. I'll drive it till it dies. My VX is starting to make the same noise. story short don't think the lifters helped much. If it's running just keep managing it.
