Try using a thinner oil. Mobil1 5W30 or Mobil1 0W30 will help. Amsoil is better, but harder to find.

well tried the engine flush and changing the oil seemed to help a little but still noticeable when putting a load on the engine, any way of checking the hydraulic lash adjusters where do you get them if they are bad ?

try this yellow stuff called risolone. says stops noisy lifters on it. works for me. i use it everytime i change my oil. takes about 50 miles to work in. works for about 2k miles.
