You can clean them, but taking them out is a paim.
Try and oil flush and change first though.

noisy hydrolic lifters are usualy caused by 2 things:
1 u have a lack of oil, so go and check ur level first
2nd, there worn, hense they will tap, so ull have to go and get new 1s if u dont want that anoying sound, and i know, mine tap its bloody anoying

i no it aint the oil cause i check it regularly. i have no money so cant afford to get a new engine.
does the tapping lose me any of the little power i have or is it just gonna annoy me??

No power loss, but u'll probably find the tapping a bit annoying...
From vauxhall they're about £16 each from what I can remember, cos I needed a whole new set on my 2.0 16v last summer.

Cleaning them can work well. They get clogged up and dont fill up with oil as well. You'll see if any of the springs are broken when you clean them.
