Re: Lifter noise

it's probably either the famed piston slap....but that is during warm up.

or you're just hearing the roller rockers, they are naturally noisier.

plus i've heard people talk of aluminum block and heads transmitting more noise than iron.

maybe try some thicker oil??....or would you want thinner to get into the clearances better...hmmm...

brain fart.

Re: Lifter noise

You just need some long tube headers. Then you won't hear that noise anymore.
