sounds top end to me id say somewhere along the line of tappets, hard to say really not sure if they are suppose to be self adjusting, doubt if an oil change will do much tbh, have you been running it low on oil? also is there oil in the top of the engine?

Have you had a good listen to see if you can tell if its coming from the cam cover?? It sounds like a Knackered or sticky hydraulic lifter. But it could also be your bottom end bearings.
