my 6 cly VL had noisy lifters since I got it and Nulon lifter quietner only worked for a while, mechanic said use the mobil additive for the engine oil, I did and no more lifter noise at all
very surprised and happy, was thinking I needed new lifters at $20 each

you can stick your finger in the oil filler hole and feel around to see how much muck or sludge is in there, new lifters are I think, about $20 each
