<VV> Noisy lifter

[Larry Forman]

Your mistake was readjusting them when warm.   You should have adjusted 
them cold and then started it and taken a coffee break for 20 minutes or 
so and then all would have been good.   At least that worked for GM for 
over 1 million of them.  Note this is not an attempt to start another 
thread war.

I adjusted the valves the way I was told, adjusted cold, started let motor get warm and re adjusted warm.  I've got a lifter that is very loud.  Good friend (has Corvairs) told me to run the truck and get warm and put half can of sea foam in and should take care. Didn't do it, the motor runs good not a miss and runs smooth.  Lifters were quiet before I put the seals in now got a loud one.  Any tricks or ideas?  Thanks
