Fiesta ST150 Duratec

Ticking noise top end of my 2.0L Duratec, does this have solid or hydraulic lifters on the standard engine?

I know you say top end but these are really common to do in the big end bearings.

Thanks, I have a tappy top end so need to identify the problem and thought maybe hydraulic lifter failing.
More diagnostics to do

I posted before seeing your reply, thanks.
Tapping comes and goes at certain revs and big ends would knock from idle
Of course I will properly investigate

No noise from that end of the engine but I'm aware that they can go.

Is this a stock engine setup? Could it be something like EGR valve or a gas leak? I suppose worn buckets could be an option. If you have a look in my Duratec swap gallery in my signature lots of photos of the engine in pieces.

Thanks
Yes I really need to get down in the weeds with this one
It's my Fiesta ST150 daily with 136,000 and I ring its neck daily
The trouble is that both kit cars are otherwise indisposed.
