Problem with 4K tappets, starters and big ends!

Hi all,
does anyone know the tappet clearances for the old 4k? She's getting a bit noisy. Being a 4k it's a surprise it's still going as well as it it.
Additionally I'm getting a gentle knocking noise from deep within the engine (quite sure it's separate from the tappets) and it's a regular quiet knock. I'm thinking it might be the big end bearings. Being a bit of a novice, does anyone know how hard they are to replace, or if it might not be the big end at all?
Also, it looks like there is a little oil seeping from where the starter bolts onto the block...um stupid question but, is there supposed to be a gasket in there? Coz sure as hell there's not one in there!
Thanks guys,
Warwick
