    I wonder if air could be trapped in there, maybe more run time would purge it out.

    We did end up finding part of the problem, we did not put O-rings on the distributor shaft which was sending oil up the shaft instead of sending it to the lifters, adding O-rings quieted it down but we still have what sounds like a lifter tick. Might just keep moving forward and get some more driving on it, maybe it'll fix itself, also keep trying to identify where and why.

    I took it out for a bit and it's exciting to drive.
