What should I do if my valve lifter is making noise?
Flush out the old oil. Unscrew the cap under the car and place a container or bowl under the cap. Rinse your valve lifter with an engine flushing agent like Liqui Moly Engine Flush after the leaking of oil has stopped. Pour the new oil according to your engine specifications. This is probably the best solution to avoid noise from lifters.

What do lifters do in a cam in block engine?
As found in a cam-in-block engine, lifters are responsible for transmitting the movement of the camshaft lobes to the pushrods. The pushrods actuate the rocker arms, which open the valves.
