what did you try this time to fix it did you fit lifters and run them in for 20 mins at 2000 rpm

Im using valvoline now, it had nulon in it before. Did the oil change after changing the head because coolent might of gotten in there. Unless theirs still coolent in the oil system i wont know till i can offord some more oil.

Its got a ryco oil filter tho.

If and when i can do the oil change, again, i may go thicker oil to stop this, i have a valvoline oil filter spare here.

Ryco filter wont do anything, the reason the other fella fixed his lifter noise on start up with a ryco filter is probably because the one way valve in the old filter wasnt working so all the oil in it ran back to the sump and the pump had to fill the filter each time it started letting the system run dry for a few moments until it fills.
