    try some CD2 VALVE MEDIC. just pour it in the oil.

    I have had excellent results with it in the past.

    Thanks to all for their suggestions and hints. I am taking the easy way out to start and have tried the valve medic and will let you know if it works.

    I put a container of Valve Medic from GUNK (could not find the CD 2 Valve Medic) and it seems to have taken the noisy lifter noise away. Only time will tell now. Thanks for the suggestion!

    Started the car yesterday after sitting for a couple of days and the noisy lifter is back. I guess it must be something a little deeper than what I thought. Time for a crate motor so I know what I got. Thanks to all who replied.
