No they are what we call hydraulic, They adjust themselves. You checked your oil level?

Spot on.
The followers are matched to the cam to within a Gnat's nut of tolerance by lasers on the production line.
As you've changed your cams they are no longer matching as they only change the cams not the followers.
If they are overly noisey you can complain and they should change them.
I thought the early Zetec-E's had hydraulic tappets ??
