[Roadsters] Lifter noise

[Daryl Smith]

Solid and flat. Use an oil with adequate amounts of phosphorous and zinc, 
possibly a higher viscosity (15-40, 15-50, ........), and a valve adjustment 
may help.
Seems more than a few R engined roadster owners are having a tough time 
eliminating the tick, tick noise and are just adjusting to the least noise 
level........
myself included......
