If the valves are adjusted correctly then Sometimes the lifters need time to pump up. Longer than 20-30 seconds. Sometimes a couple of minutes. They should start to quiet
down. It’s a little unnerving but lately with the lifters we are getting it’s happened a lot.
I don’t know who makes them or where, but in the past with Johnson lifters it wasn’t a problem.
The new instructions that are in the new lifters also say not to pre lube them like we used to do.

Good luck
