How much run time do you have on it? My new lifters took quite a while to pump all the way up and quit making noise.

He only has about 100 miles or less on them, but the new lifters were soaked in oil for a couple days before getting installed.

Aren't Fords kinda notorious for making loud valvetrain noise?
