    It would be hard for a lifter to be loose since it sits between the cam and pushrods.

    Change your oil and check to see if it is sparkly.

    You could just replace your lifters since you have it all torn down anyway.

    then thats probably your tick...you can either live with itlike me, remove the sprocket, remove the shaft and plug the oil holes or have the bearings replaced... the last 2 require the engine to be out of the car
