Hello Speed, I need a little more info. on the lifters,like are they hydraulic or solid? okay, I used to run rhodes lifters, great lifter but they make that chattering noise that you are talking about. It was a hydraulic lifter and they would bleed off to mellow out the big duration on the camshaft. The ticking would drive me nuts usually when I got up into the higher R.P.M.'s they would pump up and the ticking would go away. Thats all I've gotta say about that....as far as changing your balancer you can always set your old balancer to top dead center and mark the timing cover where it is. Then, put your new balancer on without moving the crank and mark it by the mark on the timing cover.If your going with one of the new fluid filled balancers then you know it would be balanced and you'de have your timing mark. Hope this helps or at least gives you an idea. Happy New Year!

P.S. Are you adjusting them while they are hot or when they are cold cuz that can make a difference too.ask streets whats best.
