If the lifter is just noisy, it may just be gummed up. That be the case, you might do a change to a lighter weight synthetic for at least one change. It may get in there and make it quiet down a little. Sure is easier than pulling the heads.

Matt,
It is noisy on cold start-up. Clattering goes away in about a minute of running. Oil is Mobil 1 0W40. Then starts clattering again when running down the freeway at 2100 rpm for 10-15 minutes. Clatter eventually goes away when off the freeway in 30-40mph traffic. Oil pressure runs at 30-35 cold start, and gains to 40 at hwy speeds. The warmer the engine gets, seems to gain 2-3lbs. Son-in law has made regular 3K oil changes since new with only Mobil 1 oils. I don't think it is a gummed up issue. Seems like lifters that are just worn out. JWIT. Thanks for the suggestion.
