Ok, so since I rebuilt the motor and reused the old liters, they have made noise. I tried buying another used set but it didn't really improve my situation. I tried pulling them all out, and then trying to install the best of the 32 that I had available. That helped but didn't completely alleviate the ticking. At that point I gave up and said screw it and just let it go. Well recently it finally got to where I couldn't stand it anymore and I got a new set of lifters. Since I've done this a gazillion times,I'm pretty quick about it and know where everything is at. It still took me a little under 2 hours to get the car apart, new parts in, and get the car back together.
It then took well over a half hour at idle to get all of the damn things pumped up. It sounded like a desiel when I started it, LOL. Anyway the car sounds great now, and it may be my imagination, but I think the power hase improve a little as well.
If anyone is intrested in a new (rebuilt actually) set of lifters let me know. I had two sets setting around so I had them all rebuilt. You can email me at HERE. I'd like to get $80 + shipping for them. That's about 1/3 of the price that you'd pay for them new from Nissan.
