[Roadsters] Lifter noise

[ljordan704 at netscape.net]

 What valve adjustment method do you use? My car sounds better with the current technique for adjustment so I think it can make a difference.

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......?
