Hey man - Unfortunately not. It still makes the noise (which isn't a lifter noise - I was still learning at the time) rather the cam adjusters making the noise. Problem is the adjusters are jumpy. I've since replaced the timing chain/tensioner and at least have a peace of mind that they won't jump time. If you're over 100k miles, I'd recommend pulling a new chain and fitting a new tensioner, as Glyn M Ruck advises. Bring your oil interval changes down to 8K and you should be good.

Hi Norsk, did you ever solve the lifter noise you still hear at startup?
