Think they do have issues to be honest has had some run in miles done and they have got worse. Its deffo top end noise and the only thing not replaced.
THink an oil change may be worth thinking about as its running synthetic at the mo.

No thats bollocks
Get your self a mineral based running in oil quick and do an oil and filter change , run it for approx 600 miles then do another oil and filter change and put in a semi synthetic oil for another 400-500 then do another oil and filter change using fully synthetic
