Default Camshaft problems

Hi!

When i bought my rst, the head was rattling. I thought cam & tappets were worn.
I changed high power oilpump, brand new boxed cvh 35 kit & tappets and timed it properly, naturally fresh oil & filter. I did properly "burn in" to cam and give it 2500rpm revs about 20min.
So the thing, now driven 300-400km and head makes noise again badly.

Is there some oil routes or something that can be clogged? I now if i change camshaft & tappets again they wont last long.


I had 3-4 years ago rs turbo also,
I did rebuilt my ex rs turbo engine totally, so the head was properly cleaned at the part cleaner wash machine, new cam+tappets and no problems at all..
Should i take head off and properly clean it or what.

Ideas? Thanks for advance..
