Default Big ends?

Right ive got a loud loud tapping. I cant really pinpoint it. The sound is loudest at the inlet manifold of all places
Ive had the head off again(for other reasons) and built a brand new head up. This solved some other(non linked) problems but the tapping is still there. I didnt change the lifters. If i use the good old screwdriver method(as i dont have a stethascope) theres no noticeable noise by the sump and theres not that much difference up on the rocker either.
Just wondered if theres any easy way to tell if it is the big ends. Oh and it doesnt tap constantly. It will do it at idle and if i quickly rev in neutral. Or it will do it constantly under load but not if i maintain the same speed

Cheers, Harry
