430 V8 lifter noise

2001 CLK 430. Since new I've experienced what I would call lifter noise from engine when under load. Any similar experiences? Any fixes? In all other respects engine is fine.

Yeah, I've heard it too...

Never done anything about it, the car has never been in the shop. Would be curious as to how it plays out. Keep me posted.

Do yourself a favor...compare your car to another. The modular engines MB has been manufacturing since 99MY have noisy valve trains.
