even after a complete overhall, I still experience a somewhat noisy valvetrain. Even though they always were somwhat noisy, it is worth replacing the oil feel nipples at the top of the cylinder head. Literally 20bucks and very easy to replace.....even after 5 years or so the rubber o-rings get hard, the fit gets worse, etc....causing insufficient pressure/volume to the lifters, especially when the oil is hot. Intermittent valve tap is usually the result. However, a down and out lifter needs to be replaced if that is the issue, as you noted.
