1. Add engine oil
2. Replace that engine oil with thicker engine oil
3. Add STP dying engine goop and other assorted snake oils
4. Turn up the radio and ignore for a minimum of 6 months
5. Remove a single head and inspect every lifter except for the one that's stuck in the hole
6. Reassemble and hide surplus fasteners
7. Take it to a mechanic, proclaiming "I've tried nothing, and I'm all out of ideas"
8. Baulk at the discount shop rate. You already tried to fix it, and fucked it up
9. Limp home to remove heads, replacing the camshaft and single faulty lifter
10. In an ill-conceived effort to economize legal tender, reuse torque-to-yield head bolts
11. Complain to all that your brand new head gaskets are leaking
12. Repeat bi-annually until a new set of used tires is worth more than the truck
 
Put the car in neutral and hold it to the floor till the valves float , put back in gear and drive normal the ticking will be gone (used to work in my Challenger with a 318) never blew it up and the lifter would stop making noise for awhile.
 
13. Kick your friend's butt...



I have done something similar before to the manager of the shop.
I hid on the stepside of his truck and slapped the bed side as he started off after one of the guys put new brakes on it for him.
Freaked him out.:D

That's like wacking something with a sledgehammer next to a guy welding. I've been got, and got 'em back
 
Use Diesel engine oil or throw some atf in crank case. Had a 302 Ford if I didn’t use diesel oil the lifters would rattle.
