Default cossie 4wd oil pump cracking??

hi guys, iv had this problem on my 4x4 saph since rebuilt it
noisy tappets, mainly on tickover, and it takes a long time for the oil pressure light to go off when restarting (after standing a while), it was built with new cosworth high pressure oil pump, and has always had good pressure. (2bar at warm idle) still has noisy tappets (new genuine ina)
i did prime the oil system with a drill on the aux pulley before start up!! with belt off.
could this be a cracked pump of sum sort??
also im converting the car to 2wd format verry soon, so i will be investigating the pump then, i think i will need a 2wd pump with a 2wd sump wont i??
which pumps are recomended (2wd)

thank for any info
martin
