Smitty says:  You would never guess that this thread has been covered
before.  I have to make a comment on your statement concerning having to
re-adjust after the engine warms up.  My comment is this.  If it is
adjusted cold properly and then it starts clicking after it warms up,
then you have a mechanical problem (like a bad lifter) and you aren't
fooling anyone but yourself by "hot" adjusting it.  You may mask the
problem for a while but it didn't go away.
